| X3538 To EY. from BJ. Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BJ10/H16.11.25. Re 10,000 Miles Test Car in France. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG14.11.25, please consult with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and those concerned, to decide whether the advice to customers in our Instruction Book concerning tyre pressures is incorrect and should be altered, as it seems that either (a) it is no use testing a car which is not being run under standard conditions as will be experienced by our customers, or (b) the instructions given to our customers are incorrect and should be altered as quickly as possible.
