SS. {S. Smith} CHASSIS STARTER SWITCH.

From the reports received the starter switch to LOP D.72088 is unsatisfactory, and we are reverting to the old type of starter switch, models of which you have on some of the early experimental chassis; and it was agreed in conversation with EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} this morning that EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} would arrange with you which switch should be used on 21-EX, which is being prepared for further test, the question of changing the switches on the other 7 cars has yet to be decided
