Comparative Tests of Chassis

[STAMP: RECEIVED S.N. JAN 9 1920]

Thank-you for arranging that tests of low and high compression chassis shall be made at the earliest possible moment, in order to give us sufficient data in regard to speed hill-climbing and consumption, to enable us to decide -

(1) Whether it is desirable to continue the high compression chassis,

(2) If so, whether we shall allow closed bodies to be fitted to these chassis.

B.J.
