GUB-5 (Wor {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 's Car).

The above car is coming over to our Dept. immediately for attention to the suspension. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} is very dissatisfied with the car from this point of view.

Our programme is to fit lower rating springs and a rear anti-roll rod. The springs, front F.61008, rear F.61012, are now in the Works. The roll rod to be used is the one instructed for 18-G-IV in our Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.15/KW.12.9.35, and is promised for the 16th of this month.

We shall be ready to put this car into the fitting shop to-morrow morning, so should like you to urge the rear roll rod so as to enable the car to be returned as soon as possible.
