Martindale}/DG/SL. 6/JR.{Mr James Royce} 24.1.56. 2750. 11.B Will you please arrange to build a 'mock-up' on 11.B, of the front end represented by the sketch and plasticene model, which will be provided. The structure should be easily detachable as the existing and new front end shapes will be tested in the wind tunnel in order to compare the air drag coefficient. S.L. AFM{Anthony F.
