----------

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has just issued a Standardization Sheet for the addition of friction plates at one point of the 20 HP. steering pivots.

I attach hereto blueprint handed to me by the Experimental Dept. EX.860, showing how the Experimental have carried out the modification on the two or three cars they mention in their Experimental report as having been cured by this means.

What I want is either approval from West WitteringHenry Royce's home town of the Experimental scheme, or a plan to take its place.
