Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} x 3994 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG1.1.29. 20 HP. CHASSIS. V5840e The schedule of tests for the 20 HP. to complete 7500 miles by the 10th. Jan. demands that it must run 600 miles per day. They are having difficulty with this car to maintain this schedule. We especially asked CWB. to try the 20 HP. car when he was at Chateauroux, and we also assume that EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} would take xxxxx advantage of his visit and test this car, although EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} tried the car at Derby. As regards any further tests Sales wish to make, we would like them to make arrangements for them to be carried out at Chateauroux. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
