| X6217 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Re Essex 6 Cylinder E.6/HP.11.5.34 Terraplane. Many thanks for your E.6/HP.11.5.34. I am interested to note all you say. I do not quite understand the difference between the Terraplane and the RR in regard to clutch operation, transmitted brake force and the pumping forces of the transmission, so I will bring your note with me to Derby and perhaps you can make the point a little clearer to me.
