| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Wg.{Mr Gill - Financial Director} X7518 Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E7.4.30 Would you please note that Sir Henry Segrave called in this morning to say that he was coming up to Derby with his Phantom II on Thursday of this week, the 10th. He expects to arrive about 11. You already have his criticisms in regard to his car. In regard to the engines for his boat he hopes to be able to see one of these running and is particularly anxious that it should not be started up prior to his arrival so that he can have the opportunity of seeing exactly the procedure which is carried out in connection with the starting up.
