To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 58-GN. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/E29.12.30

I am in receipt of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MJ.23.12.30 relative to the lower rating road springs.

I will arrange to send the car to N. as soon as I hear that the springs have arrived.

With regard to the rear which are 10.25 I note you say they are not what you are recommending for America, but in conversation with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} when he came to London last week, I understood that the contrary was the case. Perhaps you would let me know what it is that you are recommending for America if not 10.25.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
