| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y7941 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/MJ.13.3.35. 28-EX. Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E.12.3.35. The tests on 28-EX. were terminated rather hurriedly in France so that Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} did not have a chance to complete his report before the car came away. There was a report issued at 10,000 miles, and of course there were the daily reports. We find of course that as soon as a car gets back to Derby it is immediately taken for other work and the opportunities of getting out a final report are difficult. All action as regards complaints are taken off the daily report sheets. Mr. Hancock is responsible for issuing these reports. In this case the whole of the results on 28-EX. were discussed at a conference at Derby and the necessary Standardisation Sheets issued. We admit that the final report on this car was overlooked and in future we will see that this does not occur. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
