| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED 1931 DEC 21 X7120. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wsr. re 27-EX. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}4/E21.12.31 Referring to our trial of the above car, your visit to WW and our talk here last week, I should be glad to know what arrangements you now propose making in regard to the 10,000 miles test of this car in France, or a car embodying the new features proposed for the Continental model. Regarding the question of carburetters, I gathered from our discussion with R that he would allow the S.U. type to be delivered to customers if our own type was not ready in time. I do not know what the position of our own new type is but I should be glad if you would let me know, together with information as to how soon it is likely to be available for test. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
