| To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/MJ.2.7.32. RE. ALPINE TRIALS. Replying to Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 15/E.1.7.32. We have reports from Hancock which indicate that the size of the car is not the only difficulty on this trial but the fact that to keep to the time table high acceleration is needed between the corners. From this it would appear that 20-G4 would be a bad car because it has a relatively heavy body. However, the whole matter can be discussed when Hancock returns.
