| [Handwritten]: HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Handwritten]: X1112 S/W [Strikethrough]To Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}[/Strikethrough] re Quarterly Complaints. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/H13.9.35 [Strikethrough]Copy to Nor.C.R.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}[/Strikethrough] 3.5Litre Bentley Chassis. Referring to Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}8/HR.6.9.35 on Page 7 it refers to Gear Lever Vibration and says in 'Remarks' that this requires investigation by the Experimental Department. Is not this the complaint for which the Experimental Department devised the isolated change speed lever and which is now being standardised for production? If not, under what heading does that complaint appear? As a matter of fact this is the complaint about which I was in correspondence with you some few weeks ago with a view to ascertaining whether the modification was possible on existing cars where we have a difficult complaint.
