| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s File Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/KW.21.10.41. 1212 Thanks for your note of the 14th, and as the result I have now read the article you refer to in the 'Autocar' of the 10th. The information given therein is very interesting. I was not aware that you were interested in the design of a 3-cylinder engine built up out of Junior Rationalised engine parts, and we shall doubtless hear more about this in the future. I agree it is no good finalising the design until we have proved out the 4-cylinder Myth engine. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
