| Copy. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} o to W. Whr{Mr Wheeler}/Mac{Mr Macintosh}4/D16.12.30. Re Maximum speed attained by 26-EX. With reference to your Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}10/KW2.12.30, I enclose copy of Report dated Geneva, December 11th, received from Schmidt, in which you will find not only interesting information concerning speeds, but criticisms of our shock absorbers, which no doubt will interest Works. I also enclose copy of memo, dated Paris 12th inst., received from Ek. also giving one or two criticisms in addition to the information asked for. With regard to the latter, you are no doubt aware that the original speedometer registered in kilometers, but this was changed for miles during the car's use here during Olympia. Both reports have been suitably acknowledged. Whr{Mr Wheeler}/Mac.{Mr Macintosh} | ||
