| 664 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Scool To Mr. Irog Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [strikethrough]Copy to Mr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}EX.[/strikethrough] [strikethrough]From Mr/Ewil.[/strikethrough] re WXA-1 Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/Ell.4.5.38 Thanks for Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ck.{Mr Clark}1/AP.8.4.38. I had no trouble with starting with the engine hot this week-end although I was using the car under exactly similar conditions. In view of the fact that I complained of this and flooding when I sent the car back previously, I hope you will take the matter up with whoever dealt with the matter because it is quite clear that it should not have been sent back to me in the condition it was. If I were a customer who had returned his car all the way to Derby for these points to be seen to and received it back as bad as or a little worse than before, I should have a good deal to say.
