| X4012 To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Lp. {Mr Lappin} Lp {Mr Lappin} 1/Av/D2.12.27. The Anglo American Company. -------------------------- The above Company are now running a Chrysler Car with 6 : 1 compression ratio, and it is understood that the performance of this car is very good indeed. If it is of interest to you I could arrange for Heron(Experimental 6 CYL OHV 40/50 WITH PNEUMATIC F.W.B. air pump on camshaft, then Servo) to drive this car to Derby one day in the near future so that you or Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} might try it. We would mention that the Anglo American Company intend to have ready for general distribution early in the New Year a fuel using T.E.L. which will have an anti-knock rating only 5% worse than that of Standard Service Fuel, i.e. 80/20 Mixture.
