To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Low Rating Springs.

Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}21/E25.11.31

I have received standardisation sheets for these in connection with both the Phantom and the 20/25. On the back it says;
The number of the first chassis on which the new part will be fitted........... When available.

I am not quite clear what this really means. The position so far as I know it is that on the Phantom we do not want low rating springs adopted as standard for reasons already discussed.

In connection with the 20/25, I believe that the last decision was that about 24 sets should be brought through and put on production with a view to letting them go out to see what results they produced.

You might let me have your views. I am completing the Sheets and sending them through but I want it to be clear that at this juncture we have not agreed to their general adoption.

Encs: X.No.7410. - 2 sheets. P.II.
X.No.5410 - 2 sheets. 20/25
