Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KT27.11.33 & Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KT28.11.33 ---------- We will arrange for LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} to try Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car with the controllable dampers, but as we note you will require the car for about a fortnight to fit these we think it better to adopt the suggestion in your second memo, viz. to send off to Cricklewood at once a pair of standard springs for the rear. The springs have not been changed since the car left the Works so you will be able to tell from your records what springs to send. C. | ||
