| x1729a To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Cadillac 10,000 Miles Test. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/E27.11.34 Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KW.26.11.34. I had seen about the breakdown owing to gudgeon pin seizure. I assume that, as soon as he has the spares or parts, he will be able to continue the test at the normal testing speed? I mention this because, unless he does so, it rather reduced the utility of the whole test and the body test in particular. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
