Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RJH.15/JH.1.4.36.

5-H-IV Servo.

The servo cams fitted to the above car during its 10,000 miles were badly indented at the conclusion of the test, and are unfit for further use.

Will you please fit to this chassis a new set of the latest experimental floating cams and the servo stop to N. scheme 4735. As this is not a 10,000 mile car, we do not require the other features on N. scheme 4735.
