Cont'd. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary}

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6/ML.30.6.40.

travelling three up are as follows :- CUBIC FT./TON MILE for cars

12 Cylinder Lagonda 100
Bentley 60 (11.B.V.) 119
Standard Bentley V. {VIENNA} 110
Wraith 96

These figures again appear to be
quite fair figures of merit for direct gear performance.
