To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X4094 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW.2.2.35. Marles Type Steering on Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s car. - in x7960 Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E.30.1.35. The steering on this car is of a lower ratio and we think a better compromise than the one on 21-G-IV. We are having the one on 21-G-IV converted and shall be in a better position to pass an opinion when we have two cars running about with the same steering.
