| S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 87941. To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Mr. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} re 19-EX. RECEIVED STAMP: Sge/B10.c. 10.6.32, with handwritten date 11 JUN 1932 Would you please let me know when it is proposed to send this car back to complete its 10,000 miles running? The car was brought back from France to deal with one or two matters, both of which I understood were fairly quickly cured when the car got back to Derby, and it is important for it to complete its 10,000 miles as quickly as possible because we have already agreed to standardise certain things which are on this car but which have not yet run their 10,000 miles, such as balanced crankshaft.
