Sidgreaves - MD} 78005 x7005 We telephoned you this afternoon suggesting that you send to Derby for a few days a Phantom Trials car fitted with a covered body. We have been working on the problems connected with the SS.{S. Smith} frame jellying and booming and we should like a known standard to compare our results with. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
