| X.4262 Extract from E1/M16.3.22. Re. D.F.P. Car X.4262. If it is so difficult to alter the steering column we think it not worth while holding up the D.F.P. chassis in Derby as if we are going to study it we ought to have it at once. Unless you have licensed this car for a long period we propose to let the license run out as soon as we get the car dwon to WW. There will be sufficient time to try it on the road before this occurs.
