| W/S - C. x7962 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 8/KW.31.12.34. "Racing Formula". Replying to C4/C.28.12.34. As we are right out of the Grand Prix type of racing car and are only interested in the racing of standard cars, we are hardly in a position to give an intelligent suggestion of a modified formula. We think therefore we had better disclaim any experience with this type of racing car and make this an excuse for saying nothing about it.
