| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X7770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG26.7.28. 16-EX - Sports with Barker body. X7770 X7430 Replying to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/M25.7.28. We must fit something to hold the column up on this car - semi- isolation or stays. Also ignition timing wants modifying. The general road testing we were able to do was hardly adequate. The length of time we should require to complete this car would be 7 days. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
