| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} PN.{Mr Northey} X7960. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.6.10.31. 58-GN. (Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E5.10.31.) We had no intention of fitting a thinner flywheel disc to 58-GN. car until it had been proved out experimentally. At the moment it has never been tried on a Phantom at all. Although we have obtained certain results with this on a 25 HP. car, we are not sure whether we should like to use it on there yet. We will arrange to have your car 58-GN. ready so that you can drive it back on Sunday. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
