| contd :- -2- The alteration is no different from the smaller wheels we have recently introduced on the 20 HP. but it was carried out without tests in France on the latter car. 19-EX will have the present standard wheels fitted to it and we anticipate these will be used as standard, but no decision has been made. 6. 19-EX car will leave Derby on Thursday morning for France. It will take us until that time to complete the car. We suggest that BJ. C. and SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} travel from Derby to Southampton in the car, or we could arrange to meet half way - say Oxford. A further car 20-EX is being prepared and we expect will be ready for Sales to try before Jan. 10th., but we would prefer them to try 19-EX car which we are taking to R.{Sir Henry Royce} because then we can convey any criticisms to Mr. Royce.
