Leslie} should note that we must send the correct front road springs out to Hancock as soon as possible, also the latest pendulum lever. Hancock reports that the front road springs have taken a permanent set. Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} must ensure that the strengthened brake levers are despatched. Nor's Car. P. Dodd is responsible for dealing with 18-G-IV and Nor's car. The unit for 18-G-IV will go on the test bed and Hives will ensure that the carburation and power output are reasonably satisfactory before handing it over to be fitted in the car. We have now decided to fit the automatic starting device as on 20-G-IV. He should order the carburetter and automatic starting device for Nor's car. Supercharged Bentley.

H.I. Sita should obtain the necessary information. | ||
