To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. Chassis Specifications. BJ12/E5.3.28

With Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG16.1.28 you gave me a set of specifications of new chassis which are being prepared or tested.

As I am leaving for America on Saturday, can you please let me have particulars of what you expect will be included in the Super Sports chassis, and when you consider it is likely this will be (a) ready for 10,000 miles test; (b) likely to be delivered to customers.

I want your frank opinion.

BJ.
