- 3 - B.J.(Secret). (contd) Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}3/LR{Mr Ellor}/19. 1. 25. This car was fitted with a 14 tooth axle, which I understand was not to be considered standard. Quite naturally, the acceleration was good bearing in mind the excessive weight of the body, but I should like very much to know whether it was intended to use a 14 tooth axle for the heavy closed bodies.
