re 28-EX.

Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 9/E19.4.34

Referring to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 7/KW.14.4.34 enclosing GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 's report on the first 5,000 miles' running of this car, in view of the fact that there are several things on this car that we know are wrong and which we are not trying to clear for production, for instance, adjustable valve tappets, I should be glad if you would let me have a list of what items we are endeavouring to clear as then in reading the daily reports I need only trouble about those items.
