| x4553a (3) To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Bentley. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/E22.2.35 Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E.B. I am in receipt of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/RW.21.2.35 and note what you say about centrally mounted wings and radiator. I find that, when we were discussing the additional items to be put on 5-B-IV, I wrote down several different items as detailed in the Minutes, one of which was centrally mounted radiator. In view of what you say, however, perhaps the best way would be not to fit it to 5-B-IV but to one of your other cars. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
