Q 3. Any improvements not previously mentioned which will produce greater comfort to the driver and passengers.

A The removal of the cross-member at present preventing wells for the passengers feet in the back of the close-coupled body.

Q 4. Any means whereby the present electrical system can be improved.

A Vibrator control dynamo.

Q 5. Do you agree that the present design of car together with the trend of coachwork design has made the jacking question so difficult that a good scheme of permanent four-wheel jacking should be standardised and provision should be made in the design to incorporate such a system? (This is already done on a car which sells complete for less than £600).

A Yes.
