| W/S. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X766 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG24.9.24. RE. CHASSIS NO. 60-PK - SCHLEY. X766 X Referring to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/BM/23.9.24. You will remember before we sent our man to Switzerland and France in connection with the boiling troubles, we pointed out that we did not think for one moment he would be able to do anything to the cars to alleviate the troubles. The boiling troubles on 60-PK are not unusual. We should expect any 40/50 HP. car under similar conditions to have the same troubles. We cannot produce any magic to prevent water boiling. Our suggestion is that you write to Mr. Nicholls and tell him the facts, and that the matter is receiving our most urgent attention. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
