To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 'Humber' Epicyclic Gearbox. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E6.11.33

Copy to WOT.S.
E.Hdy.{William Hardy}

Thanks for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/MJ.3.11.33, the contents of which I have noted carefully, and I have also to-day seen Gry{Shadwell Grylls}'s report dated the 3rd under the heading of the "De Normanville Gearbox".

If, as I assume, the last paragraph of your memo. sums up the opinion of yourself and the other technical officials, then I quite agree with the recommendation made therein.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
