| x7530. x7530./x5530. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Patch Instrument Boards, Phantom. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/E14.4.31 There is a Standardisation Sheet dated 5.2.31, No.7530/5530, which has come before me for completion, in regard to fitting plain glass with reflectors stuck on to prevent complaints of cracked glasses. The point I cannot quite understnd is that on the back it says: "For Repairs Only". Would you please let me know what action is being or has been taken to introduce this modification on production? The extra cost is given as 12/2 per car for repairs only, but surely on production plain glass would actually be cheaper than that with the holes drilled. Sg.{Arthur F.
