| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [Handwritten]: Copy to Wer. [Handwritten]: BRY x985? Lord Wargrave has asked me to see the Directors of Trinidad Leaseholds, and in the letter it says that we have recently made certain tests with petrol marketed in this country by them, which I presume refers to Regent petrol. I should be glad to have any information which you can give me. I did not [crossed out] know you had done anything about it at Derby but I do remember asking Lillie Hall to try it on our cars about a year ago [crossed out] or so ago and we found that it [crossed out] was in every way satisfactory. We should have liked to stock it [crossed out] because it is British but unfortunately at that date they [crossed out] were unable to deliver it in bulk, i.e. only in tins. Sg.{Arthur F.
