Sidgreaves - MD}17/D30.7.34. Re: 16-cylinder Cadillac. We have tried this car in London and will be sending it to you either to-day or to-morrow. I am wanting to arrange for Hoopers to have a look at the all-metal body, which may delay it a few hours to-day. We have had the car weighed, and with all tanks filled it weighs 2 tons 17 cwts. 2 qrs. 14 lbs. One of the back wings was damaged prior to the receipt at Lillie Hall. Sg.{Arthur F.
