DEPARTMENTAL MEMO. This column is for Name of Person addressed. Mr. Barrington. DATE. 10.7.12. CJ6/C10712. Some of the speed cars have fitted on the side of the torpedo arrangement on the rear of the dashboard, small louvres which project from the side of the coachwork or can be closed, when they are flush with the side of the coachwork, for the object of admitting air. I want to have some fitted to my London-Edinburgh car. Mr. Royce quite approves of them and thinks they might be fitted to all the London Edinburgh cars and to cars with covered in dashboards. C.
