Sidgreaves - MD}5/E12.10.34 I have noted with interest the information given in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}16/KW.9.10.34 and am very glad to hear that you have been able to overcome the initial complaint of steering shocks. When I was last at Derby you said that you thought the car would be ready to try in about 10 days and I hope that it will be possible for me to try it next time I am at Derby, which will be very soon after the Show closes.
