| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 87960 To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to C. HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} PP. PN.{Mr Northey} 129-GH. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}9.30 Thanks for Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}6/T.5.9.30. I am sending the car by bearer. You will understand that to appreciate the complaint it is necessary actually to drive the car, but being an owner driver type this of course is important. The car I compared it with was the one I am using - 58-GH and I am, therefore, sending this as well as I note you would like to have it, and in any case I was going to send it up next week for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to see to one or two points, so he will now be able to do so this week instead of next.
