contd :- -3- We should like you to let us know the date on which our men can collect it to take it over to France. We think it would save time if Sales criticism on this car was taken up with R.{Sir Henry Royce} direct. As regards the 20 HP. car which is being prepared for Sales. This is being delivered to London practically as a standard car. When it returns we are fitting on to it a number of experimental pieces. The number of experimental parts to be fitted is much greater now than it was originally. With your agreement we propose treating this car as an ordinary experimental car and that the standard procedure of tests, as proposed, will be followed.
