| X5840 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.DT. re 21-G-IV. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E18.6.34 I was going to write to you and ask when this car would be completed with rubber engine mounting so that it could start on its official 10,000 miles test. I have this morning seen Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}17/MA.15.6.34 from which I note that the running of the car in England has been stopped for experimental tests with clutch, fan, carburettor silencers and exhaust system, but nothing is said about the very important rubber engine mounting. I would like to have a date as I feel that in all instances of this kind it has a good effect if we are working to some particular date. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
