| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1042 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to WOF.MS.EX.Ox. re 33-EX. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/M20.4.36 Many thanks for E5/HP.18.4.36. I was very much interested and pleased to note all that you say in your report on the use which you made of the above car during the Easter holiday. I think we all realise, as you mention in paragraph 3, that when in the hands of owners the cars will give some trouble which we ourselves have not discovered and this has always been our experience. I, as you know, was going to have 32-EX over the same period but was unable to have it owing to the tyre noise position and introduction of rubber at certain points. Sg.{Arthur F.
