SPRINGS.

With regard to testing closed cars with 12 1/2% and 20% stronger springs as quickly as possible, have you thought of using 48-PK, which we have in London, for this purpose? I am only mentioning this because, so far as we can see, there is no programme for this car so far as London is concerned.

Has this the latest 12 1/2% firth springs fitted? - in case you do not require it and we decide that we would like to make a test with it here?
