Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/MJ.24.7.31.

19-EX. is at present being used by Aero Sales. We have been using their car for Experimental work and this will be ready on Saturday noon. We therefore suggest that you run 19-EX. which is fitted with the latest type of engine and we are particularly interested in the silence of the pistons, freedom from knocks etc. starting up from cold.
