With reference to the correspondence that we showed to you this afternoon, copies of which we attach herewith, we have written to Mr Johnson pointing out that we cannot get a supply of brake drums or shoes for some 5 or 6 weeks, and we have asked Mr Johnson to confirm that it is impracticable to attempt to change over cars that are being despatched to the Front and that we are right in requesting you to order up the material suggested by Mr Royce for the changing over of customers cars. p.
