To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Mr.Fairey's Car. 34-GN. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}15/E23.2.32
Copy to for. P.N. Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}

Thanks for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}10/MJ.20.2.32 and the information given.

If you think the increase in power is interesting, we should certainly like to try it against our standard Continental.

By the way, Mr.Fairey seems to think he is going to get a new camshaft but I gather from your memo. that he is not. In fact from what you have told me, I believe it would be useless without the double carburetter.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
