DAL/M8.4.29.

'SS {S. Smith} ' SIDE SPARE WHEEL CARRIER.

With reference to BY6/G5.4.29., we have wired
you this morning as follows :

" 'SS {S. Smith} ' side spare wheel carrier agree to LF.1269".

We do not agree that there was justification for
stopping the production of the longer engine foot, as of the
alternatives sent you in EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 2/27.3.29. one had already been
agreed to over the telephone, and the 2nd. one was only sent
for the Works convenience in case the original engine foot
has got too far.
