I attach extract from his recent letter. I should like to hear what we have to say about the shock absorbers, which you will note he says are a very poor type as compared with the ordinary Luvax on a Morris.

I should also like to know what the Experimental Dept. have to say about the brakes on this car, which came to them to be looked over before it was used and which Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} told me had required a good deal of re-building to replace out-of-date parts.
