The rear seats of this car have been altered to Sales Instructions. We propose sending the car to London on Tuesday the 3rd. July. (Will Sales please let us know where it should be sent). The only other alteration made to the car since Sales last tried it is that we have fitted the rear axle with Hypoid bevels 1° off centre.

After Sales have tested the car, we propose that our man should take it to WW. and leave it there and if possible bring back the 20 HP. saloon as we should like to investigate the overrun vibration which is complained of on this car.
