| RECEIVED 9 MAY Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c.Wer. c.DY.{F R Danby} c.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 85250 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/7.5.31. 25 HP. Radiator T Series. Replying to your telegram re the above, we have been working continuously on this job since we first heard about it on Thursday last (30th April). It is rather a bigger job than it appeared to be at first sight, as, in order to reduce consequent alterations to a minimum, a fair amount of scheming has to be done. There is a chance that it may be ready for despatch on Saturday, but I am afraid it is more likely to be Monday or Tuesday of next week. P.S.
