| [Handwritten: Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} ] [Handwritten: XGood.] To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 21-G-IV. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 1/E29.4.35 Copy to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E. Would you please let me know when this car will be going abroad for its test with the smaller wheels etc. You might also at the same time send me a list of what new features are being tested on this car other than the smaller wheels. I want to try this car before it goes because, after driving my 20/25, I am not really happy about the question of the lower geared chassis from the point of view of engine fuss. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
