| Y7120. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Improved Continental Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/E24.12.31 Copy to Mor. Phantom II. -E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Many thanks for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.22.12.31. We had a discussion about this yesterday and PN{Mr Northey} came in specially at my request for this purpose. I should very much like PN{Mr Northey} to try this car as soon as possible. I understand that certain parts are now dismantled but that you expect to be able to have it available by the end of next week. Perhaps you would let me know by about Thursday when it actually will be available. There are certain matters arising out of it which I should also like to discuss with E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} I understand he will be coming up to Derby shortly and will be calling here en route so that I shall then have this opportunity.
