The following paragraph is contained in Hancock's report of 20.7.30. ->

Re. Temperatures varying with speed and air temperatures.

"We are sending you a chart showing the various rises and falls of water and air temperatures during the car's mileage for 4 days. The readings are taken every 50 miles, irrespective of speed. The speed of the car is just as the traffic etc., allows. The curves therefore show what actually happens during a 250 mile run". CWH.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
