| 87960 S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} from P.N. Copy to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Whr {Mr Wheeler} Trials Car GAU-7. PN. {Mr Northey} 3/WT1.12.32. Thank you for your further No.3/T30.11.32. I was anxious to have your specific reply on this point because I had rather expected that your reaction to Paris having removed half of the number of the springs in the slipper-wheel would have been one of considerable shock and disapproval.
