| Contd. -2- BJ5/D2.9.26. In another memorandum you have suggested that this car should be fitted with larger section, low pressure tyres. We think this would be very advantageous and immediately PN.{Mr Northey} has concluded his tests on this car to form an opinion of the chassis we actually make now as standard we hope he will be able to test the same car with the larger tyres, and if you would kindly arrange to send a set of wheels and tyres to Paris for this purpose, PN.{Mr Northey} will make the test and report.
