| X7120 HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re P.II Continental Model. Copy to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} PN. {Mr Northey} Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 3/E20.5.31 As you are doubtless aware, R. {Sir Henry Royce} is definitely of the opinion that it would be advantageous on this model to have a higher gear ratio. He is under the impression that you are shortly going to make some comparative tests and I should be glad if you would let me know what the position is and how soon you expect to be able to make these tests.
