| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} - from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [Strikethrough: EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} " "] [Strikethrough: Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} " "] X4190. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}6/M25-2-27. Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} states he would like to have a talk with you all on the question of producing engines, Phantoms in particular, that are reasonably free from Piston knocks. There are possibly other matters that he is troubled with on production, and I suggest three o'clock Monday afternoon, in my office, as a suitable time for a conference. [Illegible signature] | ||
