RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Handwritten: 8770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}6/MJ. 9.4.30. To conclude our tests on 20-EX we wish to build the car up in the state of maximum rigidity. This will consist of the two tubes in front of the radiator, the tube behind that radiator as at present, four sandwich engine feet with solid packing instead of rubber, and the stay at present fitted to the car behind the gearbox.
