| S/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Hassan. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}7/E26.10.36 You have doubtless heard of the above in connection with Captain Woolf Barnato. I attach copy of memo. which Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} sent me recently about him. I wrote and asked Hassan for his history, which I enclose. Would you please speak to me about him next time I am at Derby, as it occurred to me that he might be a useful man in the Experimental Dept. I have not sent Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} a copy because I do not want him to have to read more papers than necessary but if we, after discussing it, think it wise to give this man a trial, we will tell Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} about it in advance. I have seen the man and he certainly seems a very bright type of man. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Enc. Bly{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}5/R10.10.36 Letter from Hassan dated 18.10.36 | ||
