| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. F.N. X7120. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/ADL1.7.32. CONTINENTAL P.2. Referring to SgLO/L8.7.32, before we reply to this memo we should like to wait for some results of tests which are being carried out on Brooklands tomorrow and Wednesday. We are sending a car there and comparative tests are being made with the standard carburetter, R.R. semi automatic and two S.U.'s. The latter we know has given us the maximum performance. We are also expecting some performance figures from Hancock in France. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
