Sir Denistoune-Burney has sent me a copy of a paper he has to read before the American Automobile Engineers on the advantages of the Burney car. It is a very complete analysis of this type of car. You will realise from the meeting at Conduit Street, that R.{Sir Henry Royce} accepted the fundimental advantages of the Burney car, and although it is rightly decided that we should take no official interest in it, we would like to take a friendly interest in this car, and have asked Sir Denistoune-Burney to call at Derby any time he is this way.
