This column is for Name of Person addressed. Mr. Platford. DATE. 10.6.12. CJ5/C10612. X740 With reference to the car which is being tested in France, it is desired that this car should be run a large mileage. I should rather like it to be run under my supervision. If the French Company have given the necessary trial runs, will you arrange that the man should bring it to England and report himself to me? You can examine it in England. C.J.
