| To C. From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4117. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.15.1.32. We hear that Mr. Jeffrey Smith has ordered another 25 HP. and will take delivery of one of the present standard 25 HP. cars. It would appear that before we actually deliver the car we shall be sending out chassis which have a very much increased performance and synchro-mesh gearbox. We think it would be a pity if it cannot be arranged for this customer to have one of the latest cars. He came and discussed with us a number of his criticisms on his last 25 HP. and we gave him to understand that most of the points he raised were appreciated by us, and would most probably be embodied in the cars at some future date.
