| Hsl/AD26.11.29 Contd. -4- 9. Terminal on Dash for windscreen wiper. This has been arranged. (18) Mudguard irons. We see no reason why our standard mudguard iron should not be used. (19) Spilling or fuel loss of filler cap. If the American scheme is an advantage then we should adopt it. (20) Steering. We do not consider there is any reason for the two cars to differ as regards steering. (21) Notes on ignition. We do not see any reason why the two cars should be different in this respect. If twin battery ignition is satisfactory for America then it ought to be satisfactory for us. At the moment however, we do not think we are in a position to recommend battery ignition.
