Sidgreaves - MD} [Strikethrough] Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [/Strikethrough] re 21-G-IV. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/E29.5.35 Referring to EY4/G.27.5.35 can you now please give me an approximate date by which you expect to have the above car ready to go to France. The original purpose of this test was the smaller wheels but this feature has become rather overshadowed by the necessity for doing something to improve our steering and to [handwritten line through 'help'] help the Works produce rear axles.
