| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} From Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E2.5.32. -2- I should like to have your recommendation 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" really means "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.
