| contd :- -2- that it would be wise to carry on with the present standard 20 HP. for a little longer. The recommendation is that we should carry on with the 150 standard 20 HP. cars for which material is ordered. The modifications we recommend to make to these cars would be :- (1) Central oiling. (2) Smaller wheels. (3) Improved petrol tank, etc. Our present 20 HP. car has remarkably few faults and gives very little trouble in customers hands, and we think with the modifications we have enumerated above, it will carry on successfully until we have completed the SS.{S. Smith}. then a lot of the information which we shall have gained on the SS.{S. Smith} could be quickly transfered to the 20 HP. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
