66# To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Wraith Improved Performance. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}7/E16239 I am in receipt of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/R15.2.39. I think the idea of changing the engine over to the new car when ready is quite good. As arranged the other day, I confirm that Kennett will bring the car to Derby on Monday the 27th. I shall be back in a fortnight from that date. Please let JS.{Mr Johnson's Secretary} know when Kennett can come up to fetch it back. I understand you will want it for less time than a fortnight. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
