| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} (X3317) Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW.24.11.34. Purchase of Buick Car. There is a detail in connection with the series 40 Buick induction system in connection with which E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} is particularly anxious to have information at the earliest possible moment, to enable him to proceed with the Wraith design. If we could have a look at this feature as soon as the car arrives we could then return it to you for a Sales trial. Alternatively, possibly you could get the tests you wish to make on the Buick carried out more rapidly than you previously anticipated.
