To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}

servo could not of course apply to Bensport and "Peregrine"
but presumably would apply to J.III.

I should like to have your recommendations on this.

The last part of the telegram about transmission
vibration presumably refers to correspondence with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
relative to the fitting of a damper on the back of the gear-
box.

I am not clear what R.{Sir Henry Royce} really means by "regret
departed from my impression" but doubtless you and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will
be going into this matter and I shall hear something further.

If, as I understand, you are at WW, I should be glad
if you would let me know on the telephone to-morrow whether
you could conveniently call here on your way back to Derby
as I think we could usefully discuss some of these points
and save time.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
