re. Chassis 19-RC. {R. Childs}

With reference to your Cxl/KW19.5.30. (copy attached for Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ). as a matter of fact we recommend 8,000 to 10,000 miles as about the average mileage for decarbonising.

The probability is that the other car referred to by the customer is a lower compression engine.

We are sending a copy of your memo. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} as he may have some comments to add with regard to the question of oil and air filters and the advantages or otherwise of these.
