As a result of experimental running since the out-break of war, eight faults have shown up on B.V. which require rectifying before the cars go into Customers' hands. With one exception, which is the propeller shaft bearing and for which the parts have already been made, the modifications consist of alterations to clearances or lubrication arrangements. We attach a copy of these modifications. We propose to ask Rd. to carry out the modifications on Lappin's car, which we can then try out to ensure that nothing else requires doing, and we shall be glad if C. would then contact him and arrange for him to be allowed to deal with the remainder of the chassis.
