J.III CAR.

When we carry out the tests on the dampers on Thursday, we propose bringing J.III car along with us. This car is now quite a good motor car and it would be a good thing if you could arrange to have a standard 25 HP. car to compare it with.

We are getting out a specification to build up a second J.III car, and we should like to go over the points with you.

As soon as the Bentley car is stablised we are looking forward to J.III. being our next urgent job.
