With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}3/GB.19.1.35.

We are concerned to see that the car single cylinder work is relegated to such a position that apparently there is little chance of much being done during the next twelve months. Surely provision can be made so that there can at least be continuity of programme with the car single cylinder units, even though the amount of time devoted to the job may be a much smaller percentage than that given to the aero work.
