We also expect to bring the 20 HP. car fitted with 3 1/4" bore cylinders so that you will have an opportunity of trying this car before it leaves for France. We are making arrangements for it to go to WW. on Monday and expect it will cross over on Tuesday. The car will be available at Chateauroux for any other officials to try, if they wish.
