We have now actually received one of the experimental sets, and the remainder are expected to follow on every day until completion. We are issuing the necessary instructions for fitting to our own cars, of course including the Trials and Demonstration cars. As the time for testing these wheels is so limited, I think we should arrange to have them fitted as quickly as ever possible.
