Unless further trouble is experienced this car will be in London on Monday. We expect to have it on Brooklands on Tuesday. We believe that Cx.{Major Len W.

We expect the car to be available, therefore, for such tests on Wednesday or Thursday of next week. We shall be sending you a complete specification of this car on the lines of the final report given at the completion of the last 15,000 miles' test. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
