- 10 - Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Em.1/M.24.1.41. The value of running the car on the road would be very great. We could get the body quiet with the 4-cylinder engine and get the handling right. The tools for the body could then be put on order and started immediately after hostilities are over. Briefly, the amount of development work that could be carried out for the insignificant number of machining hours involved, is tremendous. We hope that it will be possible for something to be done, so that the effort which has been made will not be wasted entirely. Em.
