| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to C. c. to PN.{Mr Northey} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Re. 25 HP. Car. We have a 25 HP. car running with the improved carburetter which we hope will give us the increased performance and overcome the banging in the silencer on the 25 HP. We would like to carry out some comparative tests against your latest 25 HP. demonstration cars. If we meet at Bignall's Corner we could compare the cars and then change the carburetters over, which is not a long job, to get a true value for the increase we should get with this carburetter.
