Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}1/LG15.7.27.

With reference to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/M13.7.27.

We do not consider the exhaust heat shield is essential for open touring cars.

It is reasonably easy to add this fitment if required later.

Since issuing the standardisation sheet this baffle has run a further 1500 miles without trouble.
It is now also fitted to 10-EX. Before it is fitted to chassis on test it will have done 10,000 miles.

We return the std. sheet herewith.
