| V4572 To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S E C R E T. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG19.5.25. TECHNICAL DETAILS OF RR. CARS AND ENGINES FOR USE OF OFFICIALS. 48770 We attach herewith a rough copy of three sections of the proposed book giving technical details of the 'V' series chassis. Our original idea of getting this book out was so that we could have, for use in the Expl: Dept., a handy reference for the essential details of the chassis. It would be equally useful for other Technical Officials in the Company. The information has all been collected from Experimental files, or from the drawings. If it was thought that these books would be useful to outside Officials, we should leave out the pages which contain either secret or purely technical information. All sections of the chassis are dealt with including performance etc. We should like your views on this matter. Will you kindly return the proofs. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
