Thank you for sending me a copy of OY13/E/11.10.26. As a matter of fact R.{Sir Henry Royce} passed us his copy some little while ago, and we reported that we were in agreement with the principal contensions which CY. had made, and in fact had anticipated the contention about the moment of inertia of the chassis. and the one about the periodicity not being entirely dependent on the deflection of one of the sets of springs.

We expect we shall be taking up this question of riding qualities in a short while.
