I am instructed on Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}1/JH.21.10.43 to proceed with the alteration of the Die Blocks required for the strengthened Pendulum Levers on PL.2687. Arrangements have been made to modify the existing dies and as soon as we have the necessary details to hand, for these Levers, we can get dies and forgings produced, which I am led to understand 24 will be required to be fitted to the following vehicles : 24 - B.V. - FB.4113. 6 - G.V11 - FW.1878.
