| SECRET. X8770 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from CJ. EAC.II. CJ1/E24/10/24 We should like to try the EAC.II engine again when you have rendered it as far as possible exactly similar to the proposed standard EAC.II engine, for instance, when you have lowered the compression, altered the connecting rods, silenced the exhaust, altered the opening of the throttle at about 10 miles an hour, the thermostatic control of the water circulation through the radiator, etc. When do you expect to be able to submit to us such an engine?
