| To. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 25 HP. SECOND HALF 'T' SERIES. It is now certain that we have got to go on to produce an improved 25 HP. car more or less of the present type with the 'Japan(Experimental Engine)' engine. We recommend that we put in hand three new Expl. chassis of this type. At the present time we only have one 25 HP. Expl. car - 18-G4. We have another old car 12-G4, which is very out of date; it is useful on certain tests and prevents us wrecking an up to date car, but we cannot use it in any way to represent a standard car. We think it would be false economy not to order three, or better still six, of these cars. We should be quite contented if, when they were made, four of them were handed over to go through the ordinary production tests and delivered as demonstration cars, but we do want a number in order to average up the results and to give us a chance of finding out what troubles we are likely to get.
