| 561? EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}3/JH. 18th. January, 1939. P. Paddon Esq., Messrs. Paddon Brothers Ltd., 60, Cheval Place, Brompton Road, LONDON. S.W.7. Dear Mr. Paddon, Many thanks for your letter of January 16th. As far as I can ascertain there is nothing non standard in the engine of 216.GA. I think you will find that the total weight of the car is between 31 to 32 cwts. and that this accounts for the extra fizz it possesses. Yours sincerely, | ||
