| 4631 PN{Mr Northey}6/DN18.11.24. TO Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM PN{Mr Northey} We are informed by the Rectaskid Company in course of conversation, that they have supplied Derby with a number of sets of their special Rectaskid fittings at one time and another, with a view to tests being made as to their effect on the tendency of the car to skid. They state that as a result of tests made with these by you, you or one of the high Derby officials has stated that the results were wonderful. Would you be good enough to let me know quite shortly whether any of these statements happen to be correct ? So far "S" Department has no information whatever as to the Rectaskid devices other than made by the producers themselves. PN{Mr Northey} [Signature] | ||
