| X9410 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ13/H7.10.24. SPRINGS. With regard to testing closed cars with 12 1/2% and 20% stronger springs as quickly as possible, have you thought of using 48-PK, which we have in London, for this purpose? I am only mentioning this because, so far as we can see, there is no programme for this car so far as London is concerned. Has this the latest 12 1/2% firth springs fitted? - in case you do not require it and we decide that we would like to make a test with it here? B.J. | ||
