I note what you say about the introduction of these jacks and will await your further news at the conclusion of the 10,000 miles test some time in February.

Meantime, with regard to the 2-speed jack handle, I tried the one you sent on a car here and was convinced of the necessity of it and I reported this in my Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}18/KW30.11.33.

Perhaps you will let me know in due course how you would propose to deal with the question of marking the gears as suggested in my memo referred to.
