| -2- Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.21.9.32. Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} We expect to be in a position to send the first car to France for test by the end of October. We do not expect this car will represent the final production model but it will be near enough for us to be able to obtain some useful experience. As a rough estimate we should anticipate we ought to be in a position to instruct material by the end of November. Although the final 10,000 miles test will not be completed by then we should have enough experience so that the risk on material would be very small. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
