[Handwritten]: D18U Mr Matthews. 9-12-14. We return herewith record cards for the above cars. We agree to your remarks re the engine for 2200, which should certainly be filled up by Mr Ellison, and also we agree to your remarks re the Rear Axle for 2100E, but we shall be glad if you will kindly fill up all the other items on these cards. It would be quite impossible for us to find this information in our files, as your sheets are filed under experimental numbers and not chassis numbers, that is to say, if you inform us that Oil-retaining Magneto Coupling Tube has been fitted to 1926, we file your sheet in X.1391 which is the file for that particular experiment and not the file for chassis 1926. In this way you will realise that your sheets are spread over some 1300 files and it would be impossible to endeavour to find out the information required in hunting these up.
