| PROVISIONAL AGENDA. (1) Recommendations for oil cooling on Paulin cars. (2) Exhaust system for 'Corniche' cars. (3) Controls for B.V. (4) Starter carb. for B.V. (5) Steering on 9.B.V. Completion of tests. (6) Throttle sticking - 9.B.V. (7) Lower stress in production B.V. road springs. (8) Weight of a standardised Wraith Saloon equipped as 30.G.VII. (9) Noise on starting up, valve gear. (10) Vacuum ignition control. (11) Automatic start for Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car. (12) 15,000 Miles in France. (13) Bump test on lightened parts. Any available for 'Ripple'? -> BV with R.R. Radials and 3 1/2 ali... (14) Cost of body and dashboard mounting and its reduction. (15) Cheaper rear shock damper connection for B.V. (16) Proprietary air silencers for 'Ripple'. (17) Cheap design of flexible flywheel. 'Ripple' to have non-flexible flywheel until something cheap available. (18) Cost of petrol tank for 'Ripple'. (19) Reduced out of centre point P.D.413. Is this really necessary? (20) Can we have hydraulic front brakes on 'Ripple'? Are these cheaper than mechanical?
