We think this covers most of the points raised in your letter, and suggest that this might produce a car which while not reaching the 100 m.p.h., would certainly do what 10-EX did without front wings, and screen open, and possibly more due to the pointed tail. We would be glad if you would give us any information which you have on this subject with a view to enabling us to make the best job of the modifications, should we be permitted to carry it through.
