| To Wos. from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re Bentley Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E30.1.33 Very many thanks for your memo. of Friday. My visit to R.{Sir Henry Royce} by a coincidence was very timely as it enabled me to discuss this matter with him, and he definitely agreed that we could not afford to hold Bensport back for the new gearbox if it meant missing this year's Show etc. I will give up the idea of catching the early train back to-morrow as it rather looks as if we ought to have a discussion at the Works in the afternoon as to how we are going to tackle the Bensport proposition in order to carry our plans into effect.
