Top Title: STANDARDISATION of CHASSIS PARTS.

[Main table content is largely illegible.]

FN's Remarks :--
I agree with the incorporated shutters but am alarmed at suggestion of less efficiency. I should like to know whether results of top gear hill climbing, or equivalent, are of a nature to encourage an owner to take his 20 HP. car over Alpine Passes. FN. 9.4.24.
