With reference to C7/D27.8.28.

We anticipate that we shall have two chassis (a 20 HP. and a 40/50 HP.) ready for a 10,000 miles test at the end of October. It is no use getting one car far ahead of the other as we understand it is not intended to adopt the central oiling until it can be introduced simultaneously on both chassis.
