| X200 To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW.15.5.35. Test at Bignall's Corner. We are ballasting up the Bentley cars we are proposing to bring to Bignall's corner to 32¾ cwts., so that they will be comparable with the present standardised Saloon, which we expect you will bring. Our cars are of course 1½ to 2 cwts. lighter than this in the ordinary way. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
