ALUMINIUM FRONT SUSPENSION PANS- PIII.

With regard to your memo saying that this will effect a Factory saving of £4 per chassis, it is true that they have passed the bump test satisfactorily. They have not, however, run any miles on a car, and until they have run the usual 15,000 miles in France we shall not issue a standardisation sheet.
