To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Continental P.III Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/E23.7.37

Referring to your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/R2.7.37, when we had a meeting on the 13th, we discussed this matter at length but you will notice in the Minutes that BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} has circulated very little is said about it.

I am under the impression that you gave the details of how we could make use of certain of the weight and cost saving items which you have introduced. For instance I think you detailed what was on 32-EX in France and what could happen about the others.

I should be glad if you would let me have this information as I want to follow it up.

The detailed items are all given with your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6. referred to above.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
