Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}10./WJ.28.4.30. K.457 K.766 1-WJ. RADIATOR 'JELLYING'. We have now obtained some results on 1-WJ. We think that they are sufficiently good to put up to Sales as a cure. The car will be ready on Friday next and we should like to meet PN.{Mr Northey} at Bignall's corner at 11.30 a.m. if this can be arranged. With regard to the parts on the car that are not standard. These cannot be noticed except by lying on the ground. The major components are fitted to both 23 and 24-EX now running in France and will have covered over 5,000 miles by the end of the week.
