| To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re P.III. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/E20.4.36 I was rather surprised to see from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KW.9.4.36 that the car tested at Brooklands was fitted with a cut-out. I should be interested to know the reason for this as, in view of the fact that we discontinued cut-outs on the P.II, I was quite unaware that we were fitting them on P.III's. Sg.{Arthur F.
