| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to C. X261 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}16/KW.14.5.36. Re Raymond Mays' 4 1/4 litre Bentley. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E.14.5.36. We do not think it possible to have a set of aluminium brake drums ready for Mays' car for June 8th. It will be all we can do to have two sets made to the design drawing ready, one for extensive tests on an experimental car, and the other for Hall's car.
