| x9940 TELEPHONE MESSAGE FROM CJ. ------------------------ I STILL THINK THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT MR. ROYCE SHOULD SEE THE CHASSIS FITTED WITH THE SUGGESTED BRAKE SCHEME DES. 60 AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE MOMENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT FITTED WITH THE AMENDED CONE. UNLESS MR. ROYCE SEES THIS HE MAY COME TO A HASTY CONCLUSION THAT WE MUST PUSH ON WITH THE SEMI-SERVO. THEREFORE I SUGGEST THAT IF PRACTICABLE THE CAR IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION SHOULD AT ONCE BE DRIVEN TO LE CANADELHenry Royce's French residence AND THAT A MAN SHOULD FOLLOW LATER WITH THE AMENDED CONE.
