| S/W. X4117 S/Paris.........EH. (text is struck through) copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Whr{Mr Wheeler}6/D21.3.33 Re: Chassis No. 70-MS. - Mr. Lang Attached for your information is copy of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/MJ.20.3.33. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} is away at the moment and therefore we cannot put the matter up to him but will do so as soon as possible. Meantime PN.{Mr Northey} thinks that Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} is unlikely to agree to fit to Mr. Lang's chassis the same type of steering as is fitted to his own car, 58-GN. PN.{Mr Northey} tells me that he is coming over to France in connection with "Bensports" early next week and if Mr. Lang's chassis is still in Paris he will be glad to try it and give you the benefit of his experience and advice. Also he will take the opportunity of testing your 25 h.p. Demonstration Car, GHW-76, and of discussing any other technical matters that you may wish to discuss with him. Att: 1. Whr.{Mr Wheeler} P.S. By the way, PN.{Mr Northey} says he has never heard of "low rated Continental type" springs. Whr.{Mr Wheeler} | ||
