| PER BAG S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 34-EX - Nairobi Tour. Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}1/KW27.1.37. I ought to remind you that a second spare wheel is required for this car. This will mean some alteration to the nearside mudguard and the addition of a wheel carrier to the chassis. Can you arrange this, please, while the car is with you ? Presumably you could get the alterations made locally to the mudguard. Mr.Symons sends me this morning the enclosed photograph, which he thinks you might like to see. He says it shows the most uncomfortable kind of track and there are several sections like this, but that one can go quite fast over it if the springing is suitable. Enc. Cx.{Major Len W.
