Referring to E.6/HP.8.11.34. The information given therein is very interesting and will be valuable to us later on.
Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} has given me a note, as per attached copy, raising certain points which I should be glad if you would consider so that we can discuss them when I am next with you.
His point about accommodation for tools under the bonnet is, I think, a good one and, if the description is not clear, I will explain it when I see you. Possibly you are already doing something in this direction but I am not quite sure.
