| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [redacted] From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to [redacted] Copy X4117 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KT.27.4.31. W.J. IDEN. 119.GN. This car has been delayed because we have had to produce a special bracket for the steering column. The difficulty so far has been that every car has required individual treatment. We used the bits prepared for Iden on Coates 144.GY. This latter customer was waiting for his car and we had heard of no promise for Iden.
