Tests on High and Low Compression Chassis BJ8/S14420 [Handwritten]: alt to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}9/L619-4- Thank-you for the information given in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG12.4.20. Do you think it would be advisable to make a test on hills with the respective chassis, as hill-climbing is of importance ? I do not know whether the Brooklands test hill is still in use.
