| -4- Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/KW.28.2.36. We are shortly going to be in production with Stromberg carburetters and Borg & Beck clutches, which have been introduced because they have been shown by tests to be better technically than anything which we can at present offer of our own. We hope that everybody who signs the Standardisation Sheets will appreciate that this is the only reason why they are being introduced, and will be fair in their criticisms of the products when they get into service.
