| Rms To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [text is struck through] re Mr.Fairey's First Bentley Car. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}16/E14.12.34 As arranged with you to-day, I am going to sell this to their pilot, Mr.Staniland, and in view of the complaints which Mr.Fairey made about it and of which Mr.Staniland knows, I should like it to be fitted with the same two modifications as on Mr.Fairey's second car. It is being sent up to Derby right away and I should be glad if you would let me know when it is ready. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
