Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham,

Derby, England.

Dear EM:

Replying to your various notes and cable. Your 16 is coming through the production line today. We shall probably need a week or so to worry about it before shipping. We are springing it stiffer as you suggest. I think you will be satisfied with its stability when we are through. Nat Wyeth will see that it is a good "roader" before we let it go.

Harold Youngren up at Olds expressed an interest to see an arrangement drawing of the 20/25 or Bentley engine. It is right in their size-range and he would naturally like to see what has been done to boost up a small engine of this type. I told him I would see what you could do.

At present we are riding high, wide and handsome in production and in engineering everything is calm like the center of a cyclone.

Kindest regards.

Yours,

Maurice Olley
