-2- 20/25 HP. 1-G-IV. This is going to be demonstrated to C.S. on Friday. Dodd should therefore concentrate on getting the carburetion reasonable, etc. 21-G-IV. This will have the isolated change speed lever fitted when it returns, and the steering box oil leaks eliminated. 2-G-IV. Ratcliffe will carry on with starting tests on the automatic choke, and will follow it up when he has the hot spot system by getting reasonable carburation when getting away from a standing start. Salt should investigate why we are down in top power with the large bore unit induction system. BENTLEY. 1-B-IV. Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} will carry on with brake tests when this car is out of the Shop. Streamlined car. This should have isolated pedals fitted. C-IV. This requires a new unit, and will go into the shop for other modifications. Sheet Metal Floorboards. Some of these are now in the Works. We should have a set fitted up as a model for production in the immediate future. F.{Mr Friese} Dodd is to look after this job.
