To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 58-GN.

Referring to the attached memo. you will remember that one of the points in regard to this car before I sent it to Derby was the squeak, which I described as a "canary" type noise which occurs practically whenever the car is driven from cold.

I am sorry to say that this noise is still present although in a less accentuated form.

I am afraid I shall have to send it to N. at the first convenient opportunity for them to have another try.
