H5/H5.9.30.

With reference to the discussion we had at the Conference the other day, as to the latest device (Hancock type) which has been tried for preventing brake squeaks I believe arrangements are being made to fit this to two of our London Trials cars.

In addition, Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has asked me to get you to fit this to 88-GN - Inspection Trials car, which is coming to you next week in connection with its springing and then going to St. {Capt. P. R. Strong} for his use.

Can you arrange to do this work ?

Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 's. view is, I think, to try it on as many cars as possible, quickly.
