| its To Bor. from DEX Copy to R. {Sir Henry Royce} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HY. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} re Japan(Experimental Engine) III. Y5770 Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 3/RG {Mr Rowledge} 1.1.21 Referring to EG/MIO.1.21 sending prints covering certain schemes in connection with left-handing, I think it is excellent that, whilst the designs are being made of the right-hand chassis, the Design Dept. should give full consideration to the question of left-handing. The question of whether or not the Company ought at this juncture to spend any money, other than the drawings, in connection with patterns and experimental work for left-hand chassis is a point which I propose to raise at the Board on Friday next.
