| S/W To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wop. [Handwritten and underlined] re A.H.R.Fedden. B.189-AE. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/F19.2.35 Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KW.18.2.35. We will deal with the question of changing his wings. I should like to know whether there is any question of the special hubs and pivots made to carry the cycle type wings having anything to do with the wobble etc., i.e. additional unspring weight. If so, does it not mean fitting the standard ones as well as the standard type wings? It occurred to me that, if we have got to keep his car anything like three weeks, it might be helpful if we could lend him a car, or at least offer to do so, and I was wondering whether without detriment to Bentley experimental work you could lend one of your cars.
