| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c.c. to Hx. c.c. to Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} c.c. to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c.c. to Edy. c.c. to EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Here is the weight analysis carried out by Pontiac as part of their general routine. Some of the figures are interesting when compared with our own. We intend to go further into the matter as opportunity occurs. It is interesting to note that the bumpers weigh 59 lbs. and that American weights always include these, whereas when we quote the weight of one of our cars they are invariably omitted.
