| X4013 To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} re High Compression Cylinder Head - Paris Trials Car. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}16/E2.1.35 Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW.1.1.35 before giving any decision about this, I should like to see Hancock's report. Sr. was over here at Christmas and I gather was also not very enthusiastic. We have asked him for a written report. I am not very keen on fitting non-standard parts of this sort to Trials Cars so do not propose to give approval unless the report indicates a substantial improvement in performance. Sg.{Arthur F.
