| X204 To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} Experimental Body having improved ingress to the Bentley Driving Seats. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/E27.4.36 I am in receipt of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW.24.4.36. I note that for the reasons indicated in your memo you can make good use of this body on 5-B-IV. We will, therefore, put its construction in hand as soon as we have settled the design of the back part which we propose to alter from the sketch as we feel that the hump type of back is becoming rather out-of-date.
