Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1052 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re CADILLAC 60. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/E19938 Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}BY Referring to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.16.9.38 the above car, which we saw in London, is quite definitely a close-coupled variety of car on which we should normally fit a four light body. I am not clear whether your memo. is meant to be an indirect reference to B.50 but, if it is, would you please let me know who is included in the 'we' in the last para-graph, in view of Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}8/D29.7.38 and BY's very definite reply, EY.18/G5.8.38, with which I understood verbally Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} was also in agreement. The 'styling' of the car - to use the American expression, depends on the market for which you propose to go. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} P.T.O EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
