To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Latest RR.Expanding Carburetter for the 20/25.
Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E.C.BY.
Dr. Bailey.

I am pleased to see from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW.3.5.34 that you have completed the development and test of the new RR expand-ing carburetter for the 20/25.

Referring to the Minutes of meeting held at Derby on Tuesday last and the question of putting one of these carbur-etters on a London car, the best car to put it on would be the one C. uses, i.e. GAW-3, because this is used under normal conditions of London traffic etc. with a certain amount of .country use at week-ends.

Will you please arrange direct with C. as to how and when this carburetter could be fitted.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
