| COPY. - 2 - C1/C30/9/27 camouflaged way. This is a very serious question that we must very care- fully reckon up the risks of. (3) In yourBJ3/E24/9/27 you refer to three chassis being made for experimental purposes. This would be quite all right if we were simply taking these chassis from production and kind of 'hotting them up' but if, as we believe, it means three hand-made chassis in the Experimental Dept., which might cost £5,000 to £10,000 each, in view of the important / alterations, should we go further than making up the one chassis, until we know the result of the 10,000 mile test?
