S/W. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to C.E.BY.Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} 20/25 Steerings. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/E8.4.35 I am in receipt of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW.6.4.35. I have given instructions to JLE{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} to see that the recommendations <strikethrough>are</strikethrough> carried out on all cars he tests before delivery and to <strikethrough>Haxley</strikethrough> En. that they are carried out on our Trials cars. If you have not already done so, would you please see that immediate instructions are sent to Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} and Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} on these point<strikethrough>s</strikethrough> so that complaints can be dealt with. I should certainly like to try my car with these improvements and with the shorter pendulum lever before you fit the new steering so that I can judge the difference. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
