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}
