COPY. To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/E.9.11.34. Cadillac Car. Thanks for E.3/HP.8.11.34, I am interested to note that the tendency of the car to swing round on corners as reported by Hancock is attributed to the anti-rolling control being almost entirely taken by the rear axle. I assume that on SpectreCodename for Phantom III this is not so? With regard to Hancock trying the car with the anti-rolling mechanism disconnected, I presume you will be asking Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to see to this and I merely mention it because I note that he was not sent a copy of the memo.
