At the present moment we have not a single
experimental 20 HP. car fitted with 4-wheel brakes at the
Works. The only other car which has brakes fitted to
it is being used by Mr. Royce.

Another experimental chassis which we had just
completed before the holidays, was handed over to production
in order that Sales could be supplied as soon as possible
with a chassis for a Trials Car.

At the present moment the 20 HP. car in France
is held up because the cam wheel has been damaged owing
to the failure of bolts in the slipper wheel. New parts
have been sent out and the car should be running in a day
or two.
