| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 47960 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW.13.7.34. 104-MY. Replying to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E.10.7.34. We could fit the Cadillac type of silent tappet to your car in August. By that time, as you suggest, we should know how reliable they are from tests on 28-EX. We could also change the axle and decarbonise the engine for you. In view of the Works closing we should like to know what date you propose to send the car to Derby.
