| BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1555 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG2.5.23. RE. NEW MOTOR FUEL. With reference to your note BJ23/H6.4.23 and correspondence attached. If we are supplied with 10 gallons of this fuel we could give a brief report on how the R-R car performs with it. We are not equipped, neither have we the time to carry out research tests on a new fuel. When we were with R.{Sir Henry Royce} in the south of France recently, he pointed out that he did not think we ought to attempt any research work. We should say that the best practical authority for testing the fuel would be Messrs. Ricardo, Shoreham. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
