| X7960. S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}22/H.22.7.32. Could you please let me know whether the springs on 20-G4 are of the low rating type and whether they differ in any way from the standard springs. Would you also be good enough to ascertain how the springs on 20-G4 compare with those fitted to GAU-64. The point really is that Mr. Barclay, one of our London Retailers, likes very much indeed the suspension of 20-G4, and is making GAU-64 his own personal Car and taking it to France at the end of this month. We are wondering if GAU-64 is sprung in any way like 20-G4. Could you also tell me whether there is any special setting that can be recommended and made in our shock absorbers for use on French roads, that is to say, any setting which we could apply to GAU-64 to give the best results when driving fairly fast abroad.
