| To EH. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} [struck through] ORIGINAL. RE CAR 1X. R3/G17/7/19. With reference to the exchanging of 1X for 7 CA. any time later than Monday the 21st instant will be convenient for this change, but I do not want you to send it until you are quite satisfied it is an exact specimen of what we are going to send out. I will write, however, with reference to the experience gained on 7 CA, which I have been running whenever possible, so as to obtain experience.
