| C O P Y. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/ML.17.7.40. With reference to the note on B.34.AW, a copy of which I attach, this is the chassis number of Jack Barclay's car and was not the one I meant to refer to. The chassis of which I have had such bad reports was the trials car, which presumably was the one which was tried by Mr. Sclator Booth. I return herewith your copy of the reports from Jack Barclay and Sclator Booth, as requested. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
