| [Handwritten: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}] [Handwritten: XGood.] To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 21-G-IV. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E29.4.35 Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E. Would you please let me know when this car will be going abroad for its test with the smaller wheels etc. You might also at the same time send me a list of what new features are being tested on this car other than the smaller wheels. I want to try this car before it goes because, after driving my 20/25, I am not really happy about the question of the lower geared chassis from the point of view of engine fuss. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
