| X. 1371. Extract from Mr. Platford's report on Cars in the Spanish Grand Prix. - in X.387. Front engine guards. These broke uo as happens on most cars after use, i.e. expected due to movement of engine in the frame. The new scheme of engine guards as fixed on the Austrain Trials cars should cure this and I think also improve the engine heating up.
