| S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 2/D29.7.29. re La {L. A. Archer} Salle Car. Referring to Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 15/D23.7.29, you will have received a copy of R2/M26.7.29, and whilst the information given in regard to aero engine is very interesting, he has not commented on the question of the Graham-Paige or what car, if any, is to be purchased in place of the La {L. A. Archer} Salle. As I believe you were down at West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town) last week perhaps you can give me some information on this point. I do not know whether you or Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} have tried the Graham-Paige, but in view of Mr. de Salamanca's remarks I think that we ought to try it before making up our minds which line we propose to work on.
