Extract from Mr Johnson's note CJ14/C211211.

Mr Barrington 21/12/11.

Technical Committee - 96th Meeting.
Approved, subject to the following notes:-

(B) With reference to 96 (2)
Re Starting device for Chassis 1836 MacMillan.

I think we should make it clear to Mrs MacMillan that we regard this as an unnecessary complication with the Rolls-Royce car, as, if it is properly kept in order, it will start on the switch nine times out of ten.
