Dear Taub,

I think you might be interested to see the cylinder bore measurements of a 10 cylinder Vauxhall car, which we are running as a transport vehicle in our Experimental Department.

The oil consumption over the mileage so far covered has averaged 5,800 miles to the gallon.

I am glad you have done so well with your tank petrol engine.

Next time I am in the district I hope to look you up.

Yours sincerely,
