for 98-NK car, the weather for testing radiators will definitely be over.

The Experimental Dept. recommendation is that we should send Woodhead springs to France to fit on to 9-FK car which is already out there, and which could then start the tests which would be comparable with previous tests which have been made. As regards 98-NK car, as it is evident that we are not going to obtain Firths springs with Woodhead type clips of the 12 1/2% type for two or three weeks, this car should leave with Woodhead springs in order to carry out radiator tests and as soon as the other springs are available, they could be sent out to the car.
