Many thanks for your memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}I/KW.7.7.36 contents of which I have noted with interest.

I have not yet tried the altered brake leverage on our trials car, but as the car will be in dock next week we are going to fit these parts then. As soon as possible, when I have had an opportunity of making comparisons, I will let you have further news.

As soon as the new tyres arrive, they will also be fitted to our demonstrator, and I will also let you have news regarding tyre pressures.

Sr.
