| H3 To Hor. from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to F.He.C. Co.Br.PH. re 3 1/2-Litre Bentley Car. I am in receipt of Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}7/E12.7.33 and have also received Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/WJ.12.7.33. I am very pleased to note that it is not considered that there is any serious cause for alarm in connection with crankshafts breaking and flywheels becoming loose etc. It certainly did look rather alarming from the former memos. I realise and appreciate that every one is doing his very best on this job. Pleased to note what you say about the first production car and also to note that the second is has just gone on test and that others should follow shortly. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
