Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rs.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} is going with the car as far as Chateauroux and will return as soon as he has handed it over to Mr. Hancock. We have fitted a new engine unit to this car since it was at WW. This later unit is an improvement as rexg regards silence and power. We still are worried however with the oscillation on the front of the car. This matter is being investigated on 12-G-4 and we hope to let you have a report on it shortly. We have gone far enough to know that it will not be overcome easily. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
