| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Edy. c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/KT.20.11.33. FRICTIONAL DAMPED BUMPER TO ELIMINATE RADIATOR MOVEMENT. Referring to the third paragraph of Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/K16.11.33. we will arrange to obtain one of these bumpers suitable for the 20/25. As we have no experimental cars suffering from the complaint at the moment, we may have to borrow one of your trials cars for a day or so, to make the necessary tests. Will you please let us know whether the car to which you refer has bumpers already fitted, and if so of what type? Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
