| SLL N61 Section Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}..from C. c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C7/C8.10.40. Re Bentley V....Capt. Barnato. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/KW5.10.40. I have spoken to Capt. Barnato and he says that although Hythe Road have made two attempts to cure the springing trouble, they have not been successful, and he is, therefore, quite willing to adopt our suggestion of sending the car to Derby. He is going to Coventry on Thursday next and will send his man on from there to Derby. I have told him to report to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} at Clan Foundry, Belper. C. | ||
