| G.W.Hancock, Esq., Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. To GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We recommend that you find out particulars of the Montheirry track, outside Paris. That is, what are the regulations as regards its use. On some of your tests, in order to get absolutely consistent results, it may be an advantage to make use of it. For instance, on the question of petrol supplies, and some of the tests as regards over-heating could perhaps be done better on the track. If possible I should like you to take the car there, run it round, and give us a report. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
