Wor {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 2/T11.6.31.

Trials car 123-GY. Rippons

I fully agree with your memo, and think it would be worth while further investigating as you suggest. Who is the best person to do this job?

I note from recent memos from EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} that it is possible we may have the car back again because of bad body booms. Would that be a suitable time to make this further investigation. It might be that it would be wise to have EH, EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Mx. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} on the job.
