Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG28. 6. 29. 20 HP. - TESTS IN FRANCE. X5840c We have heard from Hancock that the 9,000 miles will be completed on the 20 HP. car on Saturday. After that mileage is completed there will be the usual inspection and the car will leave Chateauroux(French test region) for Grenoble on Tuesday July 2nd. The car will be delivered to PN. {Mr Northey} at The hotel Majestic, Grenoble. "We are very anxious to carry out one or two experimental tests on 21-EX car before it returns to England and it would help us a great deal if it could be arranged for Hancock, when he delivers the 20 HP. car, to bring away 21-EX car from Grenoble. If this can be arranged we should like to know when the car will be available. The tests are in connection with steering and engine mounting which we wish Hancock to carry out in France.
