P.III DIFFERENTIAL BOX.

In view of the failure of a Mild Steel Differential Box on a P.III car on the Continent, we must withdraw our Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry {Shadwell Grylls} 6/AP.10.6.37. in which it was decided to stop changing mild steel differential boxes for ones in S/N.

It is therefore now necessary to change the remaining 34 cars.
