| COPY. X5840 To E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wcr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}H. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E.22.2.34. 10,000 Miles 40/50 - 28-EX. 10,000 Miles 20/25 - 21-G.IV. Thanks for E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}1/HP.18.2.34. It would help me very considerably if you could mark off the list to indicate which parts are for trial only and which are to be brought in on S.2 series P.II and the 20/25 series following O.2. If we can get the semi-vacuum clutch control as on 20-G.IV on both these cars, I think it would be advantageous, as the sooner we introduce the scheme by which the load on the clutch is reduced, the better.
