| S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} re- 34-EX. Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}4/KW2.1.36. We have been very much complimented on the springing of this car, and it has helped us to convince a lot of people that we have very considerably improved the riding of our cars, a claim which we have made to all those considering the purchase of a new 40/50 h.p. It would in our view be a pity if the springing of this car were to be made as hard as that of 35-EX, seeing that it is a demonstration car. Will you please let us know if it is possible for the springing to remain as soft as it is at present. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} -Lwb | ||
