Hall, Esq. -------- I have been in touch with Mr. Pierson of Messrs. Vickers, Ltd., of Weybridge, with a view to getting their wind tunnel for two days. They are full up with work for the tunnel and cannot say what they can arrange at the moment, as they have a series of tests in hand which have not a fixed duration. I am speaking to Mr. Pierson again on Tuesday next with a view to getting a date at the end of that week, or early the next. I think I shall call there, if possible, as I may be able to persuade Mr. Pierson to oblige us, and at the same time, get some comments on the body design of Mr. Hall's car.
