To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Higher Compression Ratio, P.II. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}15/E21.5.31

I notice that on Page 2 of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/AD20.5.31 it mentions that two cars have been fitted with the higher compression with my permission.
The only one I can remember agreeing to is Mr.Fairey's car.
Could you let me know, please, whose the other one was?

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
