| 87941 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 25-EX. Sgl/E6.7.31 Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} It is now about ten days, I think, since this car went to France for 10,000 miles but up to the present time I do not appear to have seen any of the daily reports. I should be glad to know what the position is in regard to the running which the car has done. I presume the reports will be coming through in the usual way? Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [Stamp text] RECEIVED 1931 JUL || 6, HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
