We are making arrangements to let you have 6-G-11 car. This car has the large green open body. It was at WW. for some time. The interesting features on this car are - the gearbox is fitted with the right-hand change - the front axle is modified so that the steering is .5" off centre-point. It is also fitted with 6" tyres. Will you please let us know if this car will not be suitable. We have enquired from London and they inform us that 4-G-11 car is being used by the Maharajah of Patiala. We propose sending for 6-EX car after June the 9th. We are preparing an open EAC.11. car with the final adopted scheme of brakes and all the latest improvements instructed for the EAC.11. engine. This car is to be tried by BJ. and CJ. in London and it will then be sent to WW. Our intention was that it should stay there to replace 6.EX car. We are hoping that this car will be ready before the end of the month. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
