| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X100 ~ Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW.13.10.36. 22-G-V.{VIENNA} Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E.12.10.36. During the last two or three months this car has been waiting for the roll rod and road springs. It has done in all about 20,000 miles' running, and we stopped the mileage because we did not wish to completely wear out the engine before the springs and roll rod were available. It was not worth while bringing it back for so short a period. The testers who were originally running this car transferred their attention to 6-B-IV, and are now running 22-G-V again.
