Sidgreaves - MD} re Professor Dodds. B.34.GA. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}8/E2.6.37 I am in trouble with him again over knocking. I attach copy of a memo. which I recently sent to the Service Station which is self-explanatory and their reply. I also enclose copy of letter received from him to-day. I will speak to you about it on Monday from the point of view of what we can do. As this question of knocking is not by any means a general complaint I am wondering whether his ignition is a bit more advanced than normal. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Enc. Copy of Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}24/E20.5.37 Copy of Pk.21.5.37 Copy of letter from Professor Dodds dated 1.6.37 | ||
