| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. c. to PN.{Mr Northey} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X3592 R6/M16.7.23. X3587 RE. 20 HP. DEMONSTRATION CARS. X3592 I noticed on the blue demonstration car we had still the Bendix pinion on the starter motor. I cannot understand how this could be on a demonstration car, and from my impressions of the shock this pinion generates, all the Bendix pinions should be removed and replaced with Bijur without delay.
