Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} absent. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}2/R.12.7.38. re: 3½-litre Jaguar. Replying to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/Ell.7.7.38., the Jaguar car is at present in pieces. A complete weight analysis has been made and drawings of every interesting part have been obtained. One of the main objects of buying the car was to be able to see and handle forgings of which we know the price, and also see what finish could be put on the parts of a car selling for £450. It is our intention to start re-building the car within a month from now. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
