We consider that the Lincoln car, being about the same weight as the Phantom would be a very useful subject for an experimental test. We should very much like to try it either in Derby or London sometime after the middle of next week.

The Panhard would also appear to be a useful car to try if we can manage the test without very much difficulty.
