| x7960. PN.{Mr Northey}2/WT2.4.31 S/W. Memo...from PN.{Mr Northey} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Maythorn Trials. Chassis No. GNS-2. This car is a consistently bad boomer both at low and high speeds in front and back, and as it represents a type of body which appears to assist sales, it is of course of the greatest importance we should be able to prevent booms and drumming being set up. I am sending this car to you immediately after the holidays, and we would ask you to look upon it as being of a very urgent nature. We hope that the various experiments and derived information will now enable a case like this to be successfully tacked at very short notice.
