To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
C/O R.{Sir Henry Royce} from GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/LG7.9.25.

20 HP. TESTS IN FRANCE:

I have received from Chateauroux this afternoon a letter stating that one rear spring and one front spring were found broken after Saturday morning's run - also the steering support from crankcase to frame - they have been able to weld this up and have changed the springs and state that the car is runable on-ce more.

Harvey and Thornhill have been kept back for any further trouble that may arise whilst CWB. is running the car.
