To CJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S E C R E T. X8380 [handwritten] Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/LG31.12.24. TESTS ON SUB FRAME. X.8380 [handwritten] X4260 [handwritten, crossed out] EAC. 'W' series will be fitted with the sub frame. These cars fitted with the subframe will run the usual 10,000 miles standardisation test. We anticipate it will be approximately 2 months before we have a 'W' series car complete with subframe and body ready for test. In the meantime useful information will be gained by running the 20 HP. fitted with the subframe. It is also desirable that we shall be in a position to fit a subframe to the 20 HP. if it proves reliable. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
