Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E20.7.32

Referring to Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}20/T19.7.32 I do not know how many of these modified dynamos you propose to have altered for test but I was wondering whether it would help the position if you arranged to let us have one or two which we could put on to cars such as one for Malcolm Campbell, who recently complained about his dynamo output being insufficient, and one on our trials car.

It seems important to get ordinary sort of usage apart from Experimental Dept. special usage.
