X.3743 ✓ 2.EX CAR - RUN IN FRANCE. X.3644.

This car is now back at the Works after completing 10,000 miles running. The car is in a very good condition and is running very nicely.

I propose to bring this car to W.W. early next week so that we can discuss the advisability of standardizing parts which have run on this car.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
