| -2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.15.7.38. linkage and the dynamo drive should be fitted to all the experimental cars, but not to the first 25 cars until the parts have been proved satisfactory. From the running which has already been done on Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s and Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}' cars it should be possible to defer fitting these improvements until the beginning of next year to the 25 chassis that have already been made. We consider, however, that production should be warned that we are going to make these alterations, and that an exact cost analysis should be got out for each item, which could be submitted to the Administration.
