Replying to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RmI7/KT.14.6.33 I am very grateful indeed for the very useful information which you have imparted to us.

With regard to wind resistance, I am getting the desired information from French coachbuilders and will let you have news within a day or so.

Would it be possible for you to let me know the maximum R.P.M. attained on all R.R. models. I should like this latter information to complete my "bible".

"Sr"
