| Handwritten Text: Top left: Ptn, I would like to have this to Griffiths as he has your information to work upon. By Top center: 200B Top center right: 400. Typed Text: SECRET. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} [Struck through] re Bentley III. etc. Under E.4/HP.13.6.37 I was given a revised specification of B.III. I should like to know on Tuesday whether this still holds good. If not, the question arises as to whether we ought not to have an up-to-date revised specification. Under E2/HP.4.6.37 I was also given - (copies to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}BY.RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}) - provisional specification of future models, showing in red all features common to two or more chassis. I should be interested to know whether this is also up-to-date. Under E.4/HP.15.6.37 - copies to various people including yourself - we were given B.III programme and from what I know of the job I think this wants revising and bringing up to date. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
