| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3587 BY16-P23.10.23. RE BIJUR DRIVE. In addition to the two sets of 4 cork driving washers submitted to you for experiments, I am now supplying you with 4 of the standard ones marked S. The object of supplying these standard ones is to permit you to make a comparison of the supposed improvement against what we are using at the moment. The standard washer appears from some points of view to be better, since it is harder, but as a matter of fact it may not be better in service than the improved one.
