| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} x7770. x3993. re. Experimental Work. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}15/E17.3.32. Referring to our discussion yesterday it was agreed what you would do in regard to 19-EX but I forgot to say that, in view of reduced sales and other points which I need not touch on here, I feel that apart from what you are going to do in regard to 19-EX we should shut down other experimental work in connection with P.II's. If you have points to bring forward at any time that you think we ought to experiment with, please always bring them to my notice. From what Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} told me I gathered that in general principle you are in agreement with the above. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
