re. Engine Thuds. Reference Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LG8.5.26.

With reference to your CWB4/GM21.5.26. I wrote you yesterday with regard to 87-LC, which I still feel suffers from the throb feeling at 20 - 22 m.p.h.

This is a point I believe is now receiving careful attention and I shall be glad to discuss this matter with you fully at your next visit to Derby.

Can you please make this visit Wednesday next, as either Thursday or Friday I expect to be away on a visit to Mr. Geoffrey Summers, who is still complaining about his springing, and whom I have undertaken to deal with.
