| To CJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4260 Hsl/LG19.12.24. RE. 20 HP. SUB-FRAME. With reference to your instructions that a 20 HP. car fitted with a sub-frame should be tested for 10,000 miles. We are arranging to send a 20 HP. car to France immediately after Christmas because it is essentially a test which should be run over bad roads so that we get the maximum frame distortion. We are also arranging to fit on to the same car several other experimental parts which can be usefully run but which will not affect the sub-frame tests. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Handwritten notes: As presumably you and SC fit on for 10,000 miles Stamp: J.S. RECEIVED 20 DEC 1924 | ||
