Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner} All Testers. JAGUAR CAR. This car is now stripped for examination. By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} is making drawings for certain pieces, which are known to be of particular interest, but we want to be sure that we confine the information obtained to what is required. We think that the Jaguar differs from American cars in that it is not of proved reliability. We should like information from all concerned as to what particulars they would like to have.
