| X4117. Chassis. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Chassis 24-MY. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E26.10.32 Copy to War. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 40/50. Would you please note that the above is allotted to Jack Barclay & Co. but is actually for Captain Woolf Barnato. He was rather disappointed with the last 40/50 which he purchased. I have arranged for him to be allotted one with the latest modifications, i.e. larger carburetter, balanced crankshaft etc. and I am anxious that his chassis should be as good as possible.
