| H.S To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Mr. H.S. re Engine Mountings. I am in receipt of E.5/HP.17.3.34 and note all you say. The position is certainly very unfortunate because it seems quite clear that we have in hand this question for all cars except the two that we wanted it for most, i.e. the 40/50 and the 20/25. When I say 'most' I mean because they are the cars that need it at the present time and we know that they have got to carry us on for a long period yet. The object of buying the Terraplane 6-cylinder is to see whether we can obtain any useful information/which will help us with our present 20/25, but there is also the Phantom, and I should like to have a word with you to-morrow about what can be done in respect of both.
