Mr. E.R. Hall. Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}8/E.23.3.36. We quite agree that we ought to make the spare wheel carrier for Hall's car. The position at present is that he is doing all the full scale tests on his new body on his last year's T.T. car and has handed us his new 4 1/4 litre chassis to prepare for Le Mans. The two other jobs which require attention on the new chassis are the petrol tank and the fitting of Hartford shock absorbers. For Le Mans a 32-gallon tank is necessary, which we can produce without troubling the Design Dept. We also have some spare Hartford fittings.
