| To Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Cadillac. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E18.12.34 Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}E. I think you ought to go over to France and try the Cadillac before it comes to the end of its test. It is important that you should have information as to how a large car of this type with independent front suspension performs on the French roads so that you may have something to compare with in connection with our own developments. You could also try 21-G-IV at the same time. Have you a list of the points for which it is being tested? If not, I can give you a copy of mine. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
