| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} re Mr.Fedden. B.189.AE. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}29/E17.4.35 Enclosed please find copy of letter written to him, which is self-explanatory. Please let me know what is meant by the new pistons to give increased performance. He asks us to fit them on the best terms possible but I am sure he won't like paying unless he really gets some benefit, so we had better be frank and tell him what he is going to get. Please let me know when the car goes from Derby to Park Ward's so that our people here can chase up the matter of the wings. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Enc. Copy of Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}28/E17.4.35 | ||
