| 49500 PN{Mr Northey}6/DN/2.4.24. TO Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM P.N. The experimental E.A.C. car which I had with me in France, on sundry occasions was nearly in difficulties owing to the front floorboards blowing up when driving at speed. We are trying to improve the method of fixing such boards on our cars so that this cannot happen. Will you let me know, please, whether the method of fixing on this car was of a standard nature, or whether the method now made use of is an improvement? R.H. Dn | ||
