To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Vibrator Control. 58-GN.

Referring to PN.{Mr Northey}4/WT10.3.33 would you please let me know whether you really want the car at Derby or whether the adjustments and alterations could be made at Lillie Hall or N.

You will remember that the valves of the car were attended to some few weeks ago at N. and I told you afterwards that they still were not right.

I still find that one or more tappets are noisy under certain conditions of running, and perhaps this could be looked into at the same time.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
