| 360 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re Long Wheelbase P.III. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}19/E14.1.37 I am in receipt of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/R.13.1.37. I telephoned through this morning to say that we are not really in any urgent hurry for this car but, when we do have it, we should like you to have finished with it. I gathered from Grylls that you would probably be able to make your comparative tests in a few days or a week so it was agreed that you should retain the car for this purpose. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
