| contd :- -2- At the present moment we have not a single experimental 20 HP. car fitted with 4-wheel brakes at the Works. The only other car which has brakes fitted to it is being used by Mr. Royce. Another experimental chassis which we had just completed before the holidays, was handed over to production in order that Sales could be supplied as soon as possible with a chassis for a Trials Car. At the present moment the 20 HP. car in France is held up because the cam wheel has been damaged owing to the failure of bolts in the slipper wheel. New parts have been sent out and the car should be running in a day or two. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
