The above car has a very bad "boomer" and I understand from Mr.Spinney that he has now carried out an experiment, in which he thinks he is now able to cure any body booms, and I think this would be an excellent opportunity of testing same. I attach herewith copy of report I have received from Mr.Spinney. Could not the points raised by him be put into practice on this car? EP. {G.
