Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}10/KW.17.8.35. 2-S-1 - 18,000 Miles Test. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has requested that those responsible for the various sections of the chassis should make sure that 2-S-1 is built to the correct specification by keeping an eye on the various parts that are being fitted or are ready to be fitted. The object of this is not to discover, when the car is complete, that several components are wrong which have to be altered, and to prevent parts getting on the car just because they exist and the correct parts are not ready.
