| X4217 H/3 TO E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} FROM Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to W.R.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re Terraplane. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}27/E8.2.34 Referring to my conversation yesterday, this is just to confirm that arrangements will be made for the engine to be completely stripped down so that you can measure up everything that you want to measure, take full particulars of their good distribution scheme etc., and as I see you already have the 8-cylinder on the drawing board, it seems important that this should be done before we make the experiment of putting the engine into a 20/25 experimental car.
