| SECRET. To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from CJ. He proposed to take a car so fitted for you to try after we have tried it. If we have to adopt front wheel brakes with reduced power, we may have a certain number of customers who will object on the grounds which He. pointed out. We think that we may be able to deal with them by advising them to be content until we can fit radius rods. This points to the necessity of pushing forward the radius rod control as fast as possible.
