| Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} - 3 - In addition to this work, there are 7 new gearboxes going through. As soon as these are finished all the boxes will require replacing on existing Experimental cars. We understand that the body of 14.B.V. has now been repaired in France and is on it's way back to Derby. When it arrives, we shall have to rebuild it and fit the body. I think you will agree that the programme outlined above represents an enormous amount of work and if we are to have the least prospect of getting through it in a reasonable space of time the utmost co-operation will be required from the Testing and Fitting Sections.
