| To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8950 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG21.5.26. 7-LC CAR. We have fitted hydraulic dampers to the front of this car, also a set of the proposed semi balloon tyres which we anticipate making standard. The pressures in the tyres are 35 lbs. all round. If the steering is considered to be heavy, it may be necessary to slightly raise the pressures on the front. In case of a puncture a it would be perfectly safe to fit a standard tyre on in place of it. We could not fit spare wheels with the larger section tyres because the carriers are not suitable.
