| H/s 87120 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to WGF. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DY.{F R Danby} PN.{Mr Northey} 19-EX Car. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}4/E3.3.32 I am in receipt of Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/MJ.2.3.32 which has crossed my memo. of yesterday dealing with the same car. If, as I understand from the last paragraph, you are coming up to London next week with several cars, I think it would be beneficial if we could then discuss the points you raise in regard to 19-EX and, if possible, bring with you the revised specification of this car to which you refer. Please let me know how early next week you expect to be able to do this. Meanwhile please do not undo any of the work in connection with S.U. carburetters on this car as we still feel that we ought to take the opportunity of testing to see that the engine will stand up to the extra HP some of which you hope to give us.
