| ORIGINAL. TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} re. SPEED ON BROOKLANDS. X788 X8920 X8771 The London to Edinburgh car of about 1911. I seem to remember did 78 1/4 miles on Brooklands; now, with greater HP. we only do 74. The former must have been better for windage. I think it would be good to try EAC. 1. on Brooklands as soon as it is doing well. It would be so good to test if it held the road, etc. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
