X7410 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Springing and Ride Control. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E16.5.34 Copy to Mr.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}Mr.Er. [Text Struck Through] Referring to E.1/HP.15/5.34 and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/HJ.11.5.34 I am very much interested to note that this is such a distinct improvement and, such being the case, agree that we ought to take advantage of it as soon as possible on our existing models. I should be glad if Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} could arrange to have the car available for me to try when at Derby next week. The question of a 10,000 miles test will of course arise.
