| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1042 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.19.10.37. We are forthwith disposing of:- 36-EX. 33-EX. 1.B.IV, and the Packard car. We should like to keep the 25/30 a little longer, as we want to be sure that the Wraith consumption is better than that of the 25/30 before we finalise the induction system. We expect to be told that the Wraith consumption is bad, and, therefore, want to be fore-warned. We also want to be sure that the Wraith starting is better than the 25/30. We should be able to get rid of this car next spring. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
