Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/LG14.5.27.

EAC-7.

The outstanding portions of this car which require attention are - the steering and the stiffening of the rear brake drums.

With reference to DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 4/M9.5.27. We have no difficulty to fit up the fan close to the radiator experimentally, what we wanted was something which could be tried out with a view to standardisation in the case of complaints. We send you a print of the way we have dealt with the matter.
