| W/S. To C/Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Sn.{Mr Sanderson} Y8950 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG11.6.25. 15-MC - TRIALS CAR. Y8950 XH199 On the 25th.ult we despatched to London new fan, fan belt and radiator for this car. Our man in London fixed them up. It appears that there must have been another accident to 15-MC, or some misunderstanding! We do not recommend that governor casings should be changed indiscriminately from one car to another. If it is necessary to send a governor casing we would prefer to send a man to fit it. If you will let us know on the telephone tomorrow whether these parts are still required, we will send a man off at once. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
