| W/S. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 87960. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.18.7.30. Re. GLN-60. Replying to Cxl2/KW15.7.30. We have just spent a lot of time to make GLN-60 into a useful car for running several experimental 20 Hp. parts which we want to cover mileage. As a matter of fact, it is still at the Works - we have not returned it to the Aviation Dept. yet. We shall be very sorry if it is decided to sell this car as it would mean that we should have to start all over again. The parts which have been fitted to it are :- Hardened crankshaft. New type slipper wheel. Modified brake material. Modified clutch. We were hoping that we should quickly get some mileage out of this car in order to obtain some results.
