| S/W 1113 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to G.W.H. [Struck through] re Breakage of Rocker Shafts on Bentley and P.III. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}4/E6.5.37 Referring to GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}'s note of the 4th I should be glad if you would have one of these rocker shafts available for us to see next Monday as I think it is sufficiently serious to warrant investigation to see if an immediate modification is necessary.
