Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hdy.{William Hardy} PEREGRINE. We have had a short run on the road with the Peregrine chassis fitted with a rough test kit. The general impression of the car under these conditions is very good with ballast to equal the weight of the body the performance is quite good. The gearbox, steering, and brakes are quite satisfactory. There was a certain amount of fuss in the engine but it is very difficult to judge under the conditions in which the car was running. We are now proceeding fitting the body. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
