I consider that the worst feature of the 'Corniche' from the customer's point of view is the ventilation. I hope that you will not hesitate to use the car at Chateauroux for trying out any new ventilation schemes which may be designed by Paulin. We should like to build a chassis for the 8-cyl. Paulin car as soon as we know that you will not want anything peculiar on the front end to support wings and radiator. If Paulin wants any more particulars of the engine or chassis dimensions, will you please let us know, and we will send them along. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
