| x4553a To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E. re 10,000 Miles Bentley Car. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/E22.3.34 Although you, E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} and I discussed certain important points in connection with the matter, I seem to have come away without information that I really wanted, i.e. when is the car likely to start on its 10,000 miles test? I understand that you have hardly started to build it yet but I should be glad to have information as soon as you are in a position to give it relative to the above. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
