Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} X7770. RBE/AD4.10.29. S.S. AND 20 HP. CARS. X7770 X6770 We should like to visit you next week and discuss several difficulties which have arisen on the production S.S. and 20 HP. cars. If convenient to you Ru. and myself will arrive at WW. on Wednesday morning. We shall bring a 20 HP. car and an SS.{S. Smith} There is no reason for alarm with the larger bore 20 HP. the increased performance on the road is what one would anticipate from the power curves. The increase in power with the larger bore is in the same proportion as the increase in size. If it is inconvenient for you to see us on Wednesday will you please let us know.
