FILE: 1021 Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Bastow. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}17/ML.12.4.40. Attached is a rather useful summary of the Monocoque construction, made by Bastow who has recently come to us from Vauxhall's. We are now building up the Studebaker for disposal and I am trying a 10 h.p. Standard, which we think is the car we shall want to purchase as the best of the small fry.
