| X62 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KW. 3rd July, 1935. E.R. Hall, Esq., 53, Berkeley Court, London, N.W.1. Dear Hall, Here is the photograph of the Alfa-Romeo car, as promised. This letter confirms that you will order the wheels and tyres and send them to Derby as soon as possible. We will return the wheels at present on the car to you as soon as we receive the others. We are returning the hub caps. We will make sure that the front wings clear the tyres. You are going to send us the rear Jacks, and we are going to see whether we can do anything to adapt them so that they can lift the front axle as well. We cannot promise that we shall be able to do this. We note that you consider the servo is down in efficiency, and will try and improve it. We are removing the shock absorbers and are returning them to you in London as soon as we can. Will you please let me have a copy of the Race Regulations at your earliest convenience. I suggest that if you cannot get any wind tunnel tests on rear wings, as shown in the attached photograph, you get some made up and we will do full scale tests at Brooklands. Yours sincerely, | ||
