| I.A. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/WL.20.3.40. 400 Attached is a copy of a note that I have circulated as a result of our conversation this morning. With regard to the 5 cars which you are now going to complete, we have 5 special cylinder blocks with liners of different types which we want fitted to these cars to get running experience on bore wear. We will hand these blocks over to you and should be glad if you would have them fitted to the chassis in question. The standard blocks are to go to Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} to enable him to deal with customers' cars that have been damaged by frost. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
