| To C. From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} J 7770 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/MJ.18.9.34. PHANTOM CAR 27-EX. We propose getting rid of this car shortly. It is fitted with the original type of independent wheel suspension which is now scrap. To make the car Standard again it will mean a new frame. There are one or two more tests which we should like to complete but we expect to send this car into the Repair Shop in three to four weeks time. We should be glad if you would give instructions as regards what you wish to do with it. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
