| H3 Y7772 Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Chassis for USA. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}15/E25.4.29 Thanks for HyG/T23.4.29. Please arrange for a complete set of drawings of the right-hand chassis which have been issued for production to be prepared and sent forward as soon as possible. I understand on the telephone to-day that they should be ready for dispatch in about 10 days' time and I have cabled America to this effect. I assume you will arrange for drawings which have not yet been issued for production to be sent forward to America as soon as they are issued? Re complete set of left-hand drawings, please do not send anything under this heading until I advise you further. I should be glad to have as soon as possible the estimated amount which has already been expended on the two experimental chassis which I have asked you to hold up, so that we can consider the question of claiming on America for this.
