X8770 WW. have now sent the final instructions for the completion of 'V' series chassis. It would appear that we shall be able to have a complete 'V' series car ready for France by the end of this month. In the meantime we are running a 'V' series car in a partially complete state as much as possible. The oil relay governor advance has not given any trouble since the original difficulty with sticking which was overcome by increasing the clearances. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
