| W/S {Derby Works / Sales} - Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} X1042 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 17/KW.10.12.35. 28-EX. Replying to Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} 2/KW.5.12.35. On examining my records I find that 28-EX is in need of an overhaul: it is therefore being handed over to the Repair Dept. immediately. We should definitely recommend that the hydraulic tappets are removed. They are not bedding as well as the ones on 104-MY, and are likely to give trouble in the hands of the customer.
