Re 10,000 Miles Trial Car. ------------------------- The following is extract from a memorandum received from BJ:- "I once tried a sheet of asbestos under the front "floor boards of a hot car in the tropics, and it "was a great success. Perhaps we could experiment "with it. It can be put between the floor board "and a sheet of metal." Will you please let me have your remarks. CJ.
