Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}20/T/W9914. The attached is a copy of a memo I have to-day received from Mr.Hanbury. Evidently what Mr.Johnson wishes him to do is to run an Experimental Car. Please let me know, therefore, what I can say in reply. It would certainly appear as though this would be a good opportunity of testing the new Ferodo lined brakes. Please let me know what prospects there are of having such a car, if such could be arranged, and how soon it could be ready. In sending on your memo I should also forward any information I can as regards cars on testing, leaving such to Mr. Johnson as regards whether the running of such is desired. EP.{G.
