We are arranging for Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} y to come out
and try the car at the end of this week and also to
make several tests in order to try and obtain more
information as regards the faults which have been
complained of.

We also want to know the exact mileage
of the car from Boulogne to Chateauroux. This mileage
should be added to the total miles run. We have
assumed that it is approximately 1500 miles.

The chief point I want to impress on you
is that we are prepared to sacrifice mileage for useful
information.

HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
