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.
