With reference to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}13/T.5.4.35. and dealing particularly with the suggestion that we should review the job on the 20/25 HP. chassis, a change has already been made in the stiffness of the lower cap. This change came in on the first chassis in 'G' series. I have instructed Mr. D'Aeth to go a stage further which will represent the limit of what can possibly be done and bring this in as soon as possible, but we think the change we made at the first in 'G' should be a definite improvement.
