| X5360 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To JLR from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re 20/25 HP Brakes. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}26/E14.2.34 Referring to LES/C/1/2.2.34 this matter was discussed when I was at Derby yesterday. The Works think they have a cure for the 'juddering'. Arrangements were made for Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} to take up the new demonstrator to Derby to-morrow morning so that they could apply the remedy and see if they cured the defect. If it does a man will be stationed at Lillie Hall to deal with all cars coming through and arrangements will be made to send out to deal with cars already delivered. Sg.{Arthur F.
