| To HIC. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to AJL. X5005 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}1/LG4. 2. 29. 12-G-4. X5770 The programme for this car is as follows :- We have worked up to the point where we have had every thing on the chassis as rigid as possible. We are now going back to make the chassis as flexible as possible. We have already removed the cross. We now require its own unit replacing with the std. rubber engine mounting. We may revert after this to 10-G-111 front axle with the larger wheels and possibly ask you to fix up an ordinary cross member on this chassis similar to that on G.111.
