| 400. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/R.15.7.38. B.III & B.50 CARS. With reference to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}5/E.14.7.38., we expect to be able to let you try B.III on Thursday of next week. We do not know whether you would like to be met at, say, Kettering or Leicester, or whether you would be satisfied with a run after you arrive at Derby. Perhaps you will let us know. With regard to B.50, though we have had this car on the road a considerable time, the work so far done on it has been confined almost entirely to the new univer-sale gearbox. It is not, therefore, in a very advanced stage of development. We can arrange for it to be drive-able on Thursday of next week if you want to try it. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
