We must issue specifications for modifications to 3 experimental cars in the immediate future. 3.B.50. This requires a final specification for its endurance run in France. 7.B.V. This is to be fitted up with a single propeller shaft scheme, and the latest scheme of brakes. 11.B.V. We want to fit to this chassis all the weight saving parts of which we know with a view to testing them out with the 8-cylinder engine. We shall be glad if all concerned will collect a list of all the parts in which they are interested, and we will discuss the matter as soon as we return from Camp.
