RE : 10,000 MILE TEST.

In view of the excellent condition of the
camshaft E.80598 made in 2% nickel case hardening steel
as well as the tappets, we think it would be advisable
to have 20 sets made for production before finally
standardising. Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} would give us his opinion in
regard to silence etc.
