21-G-IV - Oil Consumption on the 20/25 HP.

We have bumped into heavy oil consumption on 20/25's on test. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} is using GAE-20, which has the only up-to-date 20/25 unit in it. Will you therefore please fit C-16 to 21-G-IV so that we can carry on with our tests on this car.

The Test Dept. more or less overhauled the unit which was in GUB-5, so it is doubtful if C-16 will be required for this car.
