| X5080 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re J.I. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E17.6.32 You will remember that, when we discussed the above at Derby at our last meeting and arranged for you to convert one of your existing experimental cars with China engine into a J.I., I expressed the view that I hoped that it would not have two carburetters. I was very much interested, therefore, to hear from R.{Sir Henry Royce} yesterday that he considered the double carburetter on his [strikethrough: ix] J.I. had spoilt it and he was quite emphatic that we should drop the idea [strikethrough: at] of using double carburetters.
