| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x500a Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/KW.9.5.35. 21-G-IV. Attached is copy of a note we have sent to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}, who has been pressing us to know when 21-G-IV will go to France. The position is of course that they agreed to put a lot of parts on the car for which there are no drawings, and are then upset to find that it is delaying the departure of the car. When you have done what you can on the chassis as it stands, I should like to get the noise insulation scheme fitted by Sanderson & Holmes, and then return the car to you for completion.
