| Hook. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 8-B-V.{VIENNA} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}By.Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}Mr.CWH. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E18139 Referring to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/JH.12.1.39 and the last paragraph, I feel that a definite effort should be made to weld the chassis frame in France before the car comes home, so as to reproduce what you have done to the other chassis and thus prove whether it cures the trouble in France or not.
