| x7960. x7960. x7410. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 58-GN. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}23/E15.10.30 Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Springing. Thanks for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.13.10.30. As I note you would much prefer to have the car at Derby to change the springs, I will arrange to send it up but wait to hear when the springs are actually ready. I note that you would like to fit the car with the air silencer and I am quite agreeable to this. I shall be interested to hear the result of the test made at Brooklands with a view to measur- ing the difference in performance with and without the silencer. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
