| WST X6134 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Peregrine and the report dated 1st inst. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E6.12.32 Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} I see it says that the starter motor does not turn the engine over quickly enough dead cold and has to be assisted by starting handle. I knew that the original motor suffered from this defect but I was under the impression that its size and capacity had been increased and should be glad to know what type of motor is on this car which evidently is still not satisfactory. Re bodywork points mentioned on the same report, I am asking Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} to take these up with Park Wards. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
