| To EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X1360 X8950 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rml/LG4.7.28. With reference to PN {Mr Northey} 2/WT3.T.28. You will doubtless arrange for the Works to carry out this job. With reference to the cadmium plated springs. The Works have done several sets of these for us and therefore know all about them. The most satisfactory method will be to take the springs that are at present actually on the car and cadmium plate these. This will avoid fitting a complete new set of springs, although the car will have to be at the Works an additional day or so.
