| X4214 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from CJ. CJ5/E29/1/24 With reference to R's letter of the 27th, he seems doubtful as to whether the braking system which he proposes will hold the car from going backwards when it is on an incline of 1 in 5 and he suggests that PN{Mr Northey} might test the Hispano in this respect. As PN{Mr Northey} is leaving for France on Saturday, he will not be able to carry out this test. Will you, therefore, kindly arrange for it to be done and let us know the result? CJ. | ||
