Rear Axle for 6-B-IV.

Owing to a couple of failures of the rear axle tubes on customers' cars, a modification has been instructed on the same drawing numbers G.10123/4 to 19058 G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp}

Will you please ensure that axle shafts of this type are fitted to 6-B-IV. We understand that at least 100 are available in the Works.
