| 200a S/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Struck through] 6-B-IV. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}8/E3.5.37 I am sorry to see from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}10/AP.1.5.37 that there has been a serious accident with the above car but glad to know that no one was hurt. I see from the last report that the mileage is 12,513 so suggest we should consider this trial [Struck through] as finished and take stock of our position. If you disagree, please let me know the reasons but if you agree, please let me know for discussion at the next chassis conference what we have got out of this trial [Crossed out]. Sg.{Arthur F.
