With reference to HA/GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 1/AJ2631., we presume the increased cost of the W.V. scheme is due to the hinged support provided in this case, and not - if our information is correct - in the case of the Derby scheme. From the indications on the car here this support appeared to be very necessary.
