Secret [Crossed out text: E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DY.{F R Danby} Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} SFI. RHO.] 84027. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}10/E12.12.32. Re Peregrine. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} thinks we ought to have a talk around Peregrine; so do I and so does Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} is suggesting there is no need to alter the carburetter, that he is not anxious for more power, and he does not think it necessary to move the steering. Then again we have not yet ordered any material of the 80% which was released 13 days ago, although it was agreed we should order 200 sets. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} this morning states he has ordered nothing. Could you kindly arrange to meet in my office at 3 o'clock to-day?
