BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson}
c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design}

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn {Mr Robinson} 2/MJ.12.2.30.

We understand from Lp. {Mr Lappin} that it has been agreed
that Mr. Fairey's car 34-GN., is to be treated in the same
way as Major Segrave's.

If this is so, as the chassis is now on test
we think that we should get Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} and E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} to decide exactly
what they would like to put on these cars.

The stiffer road springs are of course in obeyance
pending the completion of our Experimental tests.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson}
