| <3807> To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 8/KW.1.11.34. Bentley Bearings. Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 8/E.30.10.34. We think Sr's suggestions are very reasonable. As we shall have lead bronze bearings running under French conditions almost immediately, we do not recommend that we send him a set until we have completed this test.
