ESQ. - 19-LC.- ----------------- Reference my memo No. 338 - probably "W" are fully aware of the advantages of the French made springs which have been fitted by Ps. but if not they may wish to test this car when it goes to "W" shortly, as it was very interesting to notice how it could be driven in real comfort over a really bad road at a speed which would have meant continuous crashing on the front buffers had the car been sprung normally at "W".
