| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} x180. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Experimental Cars. Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} I should be glad to know whether it is now possible for you to give up any of the experimental P.II cars, Nos. 19-EX, 20-EX, 21-EX and 22-EX. Our total rolling stock is very large and I am anxious to reduce it as much as possible. I presume that as R.{Sir Henry Royce} will soon be having 27-EX for use, we shall shortly be able to regard 18-EX as a car for sale? Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [Stamp: RECEIVED] [Handwritten inside stamp: HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SG{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}] | ||
