| S/N. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ..from PN. {Mr Northey} X5840 PN. {Mr Northey} 3/WT13.6.33. 18-G.4 I meant to speak to you yesterday about report dated 2.6.33 after mileage of 8169. It states :- "The car resumed mileage after fitting new front axle, front springs, standard fan and special brake-shoes fitted to rear brakes". It is desired to know why these parts were fitted, whether with a view to testing some modification or arising out of the failure of the original parts. PN. {Mr Northey} | ||
