| 400g. HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/RH.{R. Hollingworth} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.20.7.39. Continental Car in France. The attached list shows the parts we want to try on this car in France. The reduced out-of-centre point yokes are a long way off, and we cannot wait for these. We should like to collect all the other parts together, and despatch them immediately after the holidays, and, at the same time, send out a fitter. The date we suggest is Monday, August 7th. The big job seems to be to get some standard levers on 7.B. to release parts on this car. We shall be glad to know if you think there will be any difficulty in keeping this programme.
