| (8 1/2) 19 2/0 x7430. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re P.II. Improved Controls on Steering Column. Sgl3/E16.10.30 Referring to BY/Cgh{W Clough}2/G.13.10.30 I was wondering whether you could arrange for the modified "C" type column to be fitted to the same car as the controls so that we could see both these items at the same time. It is hardly worth sending 22-EX to London specially for us to see the controls so that, if you cannot carry out the suggestion mentioned above, let me know and I will see it myself when I come to Derby next and will ask PN{Mr Northey} to do so when he comes up.
