| S/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E. RY.Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} re 35-EX. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E13.10.36 Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/KW.9.10.36, I should be interested to hear the result of your examination of the clutch of this car which from Hancock's report certainly sounds bad. I understand that the clutch is identical with what we are now fitting as standard and with which we are not really up to the present time having serious complaints. Sg.{Arthur F.
