Referring to the report on the last 9,000 miles, Ref. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CWH/HPH3/R1.1.37 would you please let me know at the chassis conference next week what we have really got out of this.

I am not by this suggesting that we have not got anything useful out of it but I feel we ought to know what we do get out of these different French tests.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
