| X.788. To HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. RG.{Mr Rowledge} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X.788. TESTING CARS FOR SPEED. R4/M13.2.24. It has occurred to me that we do not take cars often enough to Brooklands to test. It seems if this track is in good condition it would be safer and a more exact place to get records of acceleration and speed. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
