| X795D To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} PN.{Mr Northey} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/AJ.7.12.29. On Tuesday when we bring 18-EX car (R's car for Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence) we also propose bringing 20-EX. We specially should like you to try 20-EX because in our opinion the noise, roar and fuss which you have complained of on the Phantom ll is entirely eliminated. For comparison it would be useful if you can bring the best of your Phantom ll Trials Cars. If suitable to you we can meet you at the Peahen Hotel, St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Albans at one o'clock.
