To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from CJ. Heat under Floorboards. CJ1/E2/7/24

Referring to your memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG7/1/24 in which you said you intended to make alterations on cars fitted with front brakes with a view to reducing the heat from which drivers suffer, have you made these alterations and tried them? If so, with what success? And when may we expect a standardisation sheet?

CJ.
