| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} * 9 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW.2.4.36. At yesterday's conference Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} got rather alarmed because we were getting heavily committed on carburetters and had no experience under Continental conditions for vapour lock, starvation, etc. We therefore agreed with him that we would make a big effort to get the car away before Easter. Attached is a final specification of modifications required. We shall be glad if you will do what you can to push the car along.
