| EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} From HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X411 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}4/MJ.23.5.30. 34-GN. We read Mr. Fairey's note re his car. We think that he is so nearly satisfied that the first thing to do is to fit him slightly stronger rear springs of the standard type. If he still complains that the springing has rather more freedom than he requires we recommend that friction type shock absorbers should be fitted to the rear of this car, exactly the same as on Major Segrave's. This is a W.W. design and the only question that arises is to obtain the consent of the Administration to fit it and to settle the matter of payment.
