To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 58-GN. Springing.

Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}21/E10.10.30

Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/MJ.9.10.30. Just before I went over to Paris I asked JLE{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} to try the car. I gave him a copy of your note saying what you had done but did not give him any of my own views in regard to the result.

I enclose original of his report which I thought you might like to see. Please return it after perusal.

I note that you expect to have some other front springs in about 10 days' time. I can of course easily wait for them but do you really want the car to come to Derby for the change or can it be made at N.?

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
