I am proposing this next week to devote my time between Cricklewood and Kingsbury. Next Monday June 29th I shall proceed to Paris to investigate Bentley clutch troubles and if possible examine Sr's. trials car bearings.

By then 22-C-V should have completed its mileage and the new cylinder head will be in Paris. This will be changed and I can test it. My further movements will be communicated to you.
