| 87960 To C. From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to PN.{Mr Northey} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair},2/WJ.29.10.33. Re. Controllable Dampers Fitted to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s. Car. We are anxious to keep an eye on the dampers on Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s. car to see that they continue to function satisfactorily. We have an Expl. Car which is running 10,000 miles with these dampers and we were proposing to send it down to Lillie Hall on Tuesday. If you could arrange for the car to be available between 11.30 to 3 o'clock it would be all we require. We should also like to know if any comments have been made on this scheme. We are expecting to send you the approximate cost of this arrangement and the dates when it can be fitted to the Phantom chassis within the next two or three days. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
