| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7720 CWB5/GM/23.4.28. Re: Chassis No. 8-EX. You suggested some little time ago that it might be useful for me to try the above car with particular reference to the effect of flexible mounting to the rear end of the engine. It would be very convenient if this test could be carried out over the next week end, so that if you can arrange it to leave the car in London on Friday afternoon 27th April and to receive it back at Derby on Tuesday 1st May, this would be very suitable. Would you please let me know whether this is possible. (CWB). | ||
