Smith} car we already have on test running about on EAC.1., the gearbox and servo are practically the present 20 HP. 4-speed box made larger and the engine is very similar to the latest Phantom with turbulent head.

We recommend that we go ahead with the programme suggested by R.{Sir Henry Royce} i.e., to produce 3 chassis and 3 bodies.
