| 84688 H3 To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 20/25 HP Engines Ceer to E.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}G. for Tanks. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}21/E31.10.32 I heard after the Board Meeting on Friday that we had received the order for the supply of the 50 engines and 50 sets of certain installation fittings for tanks from the War Office. I was sorry that I did not have this information in time to enable me to tell the Board but it will do next time. I assume that you will automatically order the addition-al 20/25 material required to enable this contract to be carried out, and I also assume that you are all clear in regard to matters concerning delivery etc., and I should be glad if the Works will deal with the invoicing of these to the War Office in just the same manner as they deal with the invoicing of aero engines to the Air Ministry.
