| 1011. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} To Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Mr.Symons' Trip - 34-EX. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}16/E31.3.37 I have received a very long letter from him and I attach extracts which I think will be of interest. I should rather like to see at Derby a P.III propeller shaft so as to get to understand exactly what it is that failed and which he says is weak. Perhaps arrangements could be made to send one up to my office at Derby for us to look at. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Enc. | ||
