| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X79400 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Phantom II. 10,000 Miles Car. Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E17.2.30. Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.13.2.30 It is perhaps fortunate that this car has not yet started if, as I gather, there is a possibility of its being fitted with the suggested scheme for the elimination of the jellying of the radiator. I understand that E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} and DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} have been working on this for some time and that they hope to put something forward which will be applicable to existing cars. Please keep me in touch with progress in connection with this matter and the start of this car on its 10,000 miles test. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
