Dear Guy,

Many thanks for the information about the torque control. From a preliminary investigation we did not think that it had any advantages over its many predecessors, all of which have been turned down. However, the real purpose of this letter is to ask you who it is who owns the 4-litre Humber which we should like to get hold of to try.

Yours,
