Mr Sanderson. 17.5.12 With reference to the above matter and your sheet S1/B10512, as previously pointed out to you, we have had to replace several parts on this car, which owing to our experiments have been damaged. The Drawing office have now finished with it however and same is now in our hands for re-assembling. When the car is again built up we have to make experiments with the steering to Mr Royce's instructions, but we will definitely promise as soon as ever possible., in the meantime we are writing Mr Johnson on the matter.
