| X204 To JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}24/KW.21.1.35. I have got to be at Thomson & Taylors, Weybridge, on Wednesday morning, and should like to try any cars that are available in the afternoon. I suppose Summers' car is not fit to try yet, as I am rather interested in the bumper bar, but Archer reports that the 20/25's with the rubber engine mounting are much worse for jellying than previously, and if there are any examples of this I would like to see them. You cannot get to Weybridge for lunch by any chance can you ? I understand from Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} that the coachbuilding meeting you usually have on Wednesday morning is not of vital importance. We had a frightfully noisy pair of windscreen wipers on 5-B-IV and attached is a report of what was found wrong. We should like your comments on this.
