| S/W 300a To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 32-EX. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}15/E14.6.37 If you want to get some real traffic running whilst 32-EX is up here, I suggest you instruct the driver to join the Ascot throng at the height of the crush. It ought to be a good test for overheating in traffic as well as for the clutch. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
