| S/W To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 4¼-litre Bentley Test. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/E19.5.36 I see from the report dated the 15th that the total miles run is 16,025. As I thought the maximum considered necessary was 15,000, I should be glad to know how much longer it is proposed to continue this test. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
