| SECRET. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} <300 To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Gour to E.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re SpectreCodename for Phantom III. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}7/E1.5.35 Referring to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}21/E17.4.35, as mentioned in the penultimate paragraph, I am coming up to Derby by the 6.25 on Thursday evening so as to be able to make a real trial of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III on Friday morning. I have asked C. to come up with me because it is a long time since he has tried SpectreCodename for Phantom III and I am anxious that he should be au fait with the position. If you would send a car to the Hotel at 9.30 Friday morning, we could come along to the Works and go out on SpectreCodename for Phantom III from there. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
