Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} [Handwritten] Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} file. I have put a copy in Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/ML.11.12.40. BENTLEY PUBLICITY. Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}7/KW.10.12.40. We hardly expect the "Motor" to be enthusiastic about inserting statements in their paper which contradict what they have previously written, but we attach herewith the way in which we should have dealt with the performance of the two cars in the first place. From this they may be able possibly, to re-write some of the statements they have made without appearing ridiculous. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
