We are proposing to indulge in some publicity to convince the Automobile Industry that the Company is still interested in motor-cars and doing a lot of research work. This publicity will take the form of a short paper picturing all the various pieces of experimental apparatus which we use, and the work done with them. Will those to whom this note is addressed submit a list of the pieces of apparatus which they think could, with advantage, be photographed, and we will then arrange with Walker to get the selected equipment photographed. We think that the photograph of the Test Bed should include all the apparatus generally used, such as the Exhaust Analizer, and also that the photograph of the single cylinder should include several obsolete cylinder heads.
