HIGH POWER UNIT.

This is to confirm that it was agreed at yesterday's Conference with Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} that this unit should start life the same size as the present 4½-litre Bentley even though ultimately when fitted to B.50 it may be reduced in capacity; the object of this is, of course, to facilitate our testing.
