Bailey - Chief Engineer} Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Rg.{Mr Rowledge} Lr.{Mr Ellor} D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 8676 Ha/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}5/MJ.9.10.31 PRIVATE USE OF EXPERIMENTAL CARS. It will possibly be remembered that some little time ago Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} looked into the question of the use of Experimental cars for private purposes, and his ultimate ruling was that cars could be used subject to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} giving his consent and of course subject to there being cars conveniently available. This is a point which is easily forgotten as time goes on, and we should like to take this opportunity of circulating a reminder that all requests for the loan of experimental cars for private uses should be accompanied by Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s agreement.
