| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to WoT. 87120. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/MJ. 21.12.31. 10,000 MILES TEST ON A CONTINENTAL PHANTOM II. We propose to take one of our existing P.2 experimental cars (19-EX) and fit this up with the necessary parts to make it into an improved Continental type car except that it would be a long chassis instead of the short chassis. It will have all the features of the Continental car. This will leave 27-EX. to carry on with the epicyclic third speed tests and also as a model high speed car. If we send a car to France, it is necessary for us to have one here so that we can confirm any complaints which arise. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
