Handwritten top left: H/S Handwritten top center: x-erism To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} (Struck through) Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E. Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} (Handwritten) re 15,000 Miles Test on 1.B.IV. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/E15.12.33 I feel that the last 1500 or 1000 miles ought to be run by Sales, which you will remember was a principle agreed on some time ago. I should like it to be run under the super-vision of Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} and under conditions of a normal private user, not in France but in England and a very considerable amount of the running to be done in London. Would you please arrange with Hancock, therefore, to bring the car over for this purpose at some pre-determined mileage. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
