| X7080 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To H.R., from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re NewType Semi-Expanding Carburetter. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E7.9.32 The position at the conference last week was, as you will remember, that Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} would issue a standardisation sheet for the same type as fitted to 19-EX with a view to bringing it in as soon as our commitments allowed and without actually waiting for the still larger type which is still in the pattern stage. The Minutes do not mention that it is my wish to confine this new carburetter to the Continental type chassis but I hope this is clear. I should be glad if you would let me have information regarding the material commitments from the point of view of how soon it may be possible to introduce it. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [STAMP: RECEIVED 12 SEP 1932] | ||
