To EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
c. to EY.

X5420.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LGL.11.28.

20 HP. BRAKE THUMPS.

We see no reason why the present 20 HP. brakes should suffer from this complaint any more than any of the previous 20 HP. fitted with 4-wheel brakes. We should very much like to try a car which has the fault you complain of.

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
