| HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} 600a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux}1/JH.25.11.37. 26.G.VI. 25/30. Will you please arrange to fit up the Oldsmobile front roll-rod on the above car. This will necessitate. (1). Drilling the front extensions of the frame to take the existing brackets which will require setting slightly. (2). Making two flat plates to fit underneath the lower suspension levers, held in by the bolts which hold the buffers. (3). Simple connecting links of existing type i.e., plain rods threaded to take existing rubbers and cups. We should like this doing today if possible as the car is only available for a limited time.
