Linnett}/E6.7.31. This car has run about 1,100 miles in France. They have been carrying out tests over very bad roads to make sure they have got the best adjustment for the torque reaction dampers. They have also been carrying out comparative tests with shutters and temperature tests on radiators. We are still waiting for a report on the small tube radiator with the large tube radiator on a hot day 30°C. the water just boils, We will endeavour to send you the conclusions arrived at from the tests which have already been made.
