| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 84199. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MJ.20.2.33. 19-EX. Attached herewith copy of report of accident re. the above car. It is evident that we have lost 19-EX. as a motor-car for some time. As we were preparing a number of parts to be fitted to 19-EX. we should like to know whether it would be possible for us to borrow 27-EX. car (I believe it has now been renumbered 85-JS.{Mr Johnson's Secretary}) We have an engine unit which we were preparing for 19-EX. We should fit this to 27-EX. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
