We thank you for your memo reference Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}9/JH.1.2.39. and note that you have not been able to increase this car's engine performance. However, we have noted that you consider the speedometer error is on the low side and we are taking this matter up to make it standard. We are pleased to note that you have changed the transmission of the rear axle which we are sure will improve the car. Thanking you for the trouble taken in this matter. Bly.{B. W.
