CJ. has examined Brooklands test and requires urgently results of comparative petrol consumption tests with 14 and 15 tooth axles, as requested by PJ on the 10th July (BJS/H10.7.22)

Brooklands tests otherwise useless.

Mr. Royce coming to London Monday; Board meeting, Tuesday.

We wish to decide also which axle to use.

Have you tested with original, medium and less com­pression; or only with original, medium and high com­pression?

Understand we now only use original, medium and lowest compression.
