| 1021 To Rn.{Mr Robinson} From Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.10/LT.1.5.41. EVERALL LOCKS. The driver's door on 3.B.50 is now fitted with an improved type of Everall Lock, in which the fault of being able to hold the bolt back by operating the inside handle in a particular way has been removed. We have advised Park Ward of this matter and sent them a copy of our letter to the lock manufacturers, in which we suggest that Messrs. Park Ward will probably ask them to modify any locks of this particular type that they may have in stock. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. | ||
