He5/LG16.1.22.

We recommend that we modify 6.EX Car to have all the fittings which have been recommended for cars using low grade petrol. We also expect to be able to fit on to the car the Goshawk type battery ignition.

We think it would be an excellent thing for you to have the opportunity of trying this whilst in France.

We propose, therefore, that Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} and myself come down on the Goshawk so that we can bring 6.EX Car back to Derby.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
