| X9940 To GWB. from BJ. Copies to.... H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} [struck through] P.H. [struck through] -> Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FRONT WHEEL BRAKES. How many miles do you think you could test 48-PK before Olympia opens, if you start at once? Can H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} please arrange for Henning to continue to test it afterwards? Tests could probably be made in England and Wales, with a view to finding out what defects are likely to occur when the car is being driven and looked after by someone who is not so intimately acquainted with the brakes as the Works experts who have been dealing with nothing else.
