| X 5840 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 20/25 HP 10,000 Miles Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} R.{Sir Henry Royce} Ca. Test Car - 21-9-4. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/Ell.4.34 The last information you gave me was that you expected to have the above car ready to start immediately after Easter. Would you please let me know the present position. I understand that a further batch of material is due to be ordered on or about the 19th May, i.e. in about 5 weeks - (will Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} please confirm this) - and it looks to me, therefore, as if in the near future you and the others concerned ought to go through E/Li.4/HP.23.2.34 with a view to saying what items we may expect to standardise on this further batch of material, applying in each case the same question as in the case of the 40/50, i.e. what is the customer going to get out of it?
