Mr. Cowan has asked to borrow 1 EX Car to shew to some of the Agents in London on Monday. He had anticipated using one of the London Trials Cars but they had not been able to get this ready in time, and 1.EX appears to be the only high compression Car available. We have got this car at the Works and are fitting a set of silent Pistons of the split type. We are also fitting the car up with Lodge porcelain plugs. As soon as Mr. Cowan has finished with it we shall have it back at the Works to fit the new ram type pistons. EH. | ||
