| 4001 To EH. from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}Der re Bentley III Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}7/E12938 I am in receipt of EY.4/G.10.9.38. The question you raise is one on which I feel we should be guided by you and, provided Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} agrees, I agree to abandoning any idea of having a new type axle on this car. We certainly cannot afford to take any undue risks. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
