| RHO. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Sn.{Mr Sanderson} V5230 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}7/A04.11.31. 19.G.IV. 19.G.IV. will be back at the end of this week to have its engine unit modernised to the 18.G.IV. standard. We are anxious to get the car on the road again with the new bits in the engine as soon as possible so that we can do some work on exhaust systems. 18.G.IV. has had to go away with an exhaust system which is not satisfactory - difficulty has been caused by the new camshaft increasing the exhaust back pressure and therefore we want to get 19.G.IV to carry on with this work.
