| X7960. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} PN.{Mr Northey} re 58-GN - the Car I use. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E5.10.31 Referring to R2/M1.10.31 I suggest that you should not fit the thinner disc to the flywheel as well as the diamond mounting. Otherwise the result of the experiment will become confused. 25-EX I shall probably drive 25-EX up to Derby on Saturday next and, if 58-GN is ready, I could drive it back on Sunday. If not, I will of course come back on 25-EX. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
