RE CHASSIS CONFERENCE, MONDAY, 21.2.38

will you please add to the Agenda for this Conference-

WRAITH WHEEL MOVEMENT - P.J.
Remarks.

It was decided in November that the question should be raised again in February of whether Wraith wheel movement should be brought on at 101 in D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary}, at a scrap of £1100, or at the first in E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} series.

AMMETER FAILURE - DEPOT COMPLAINT W.127

If in addition to the Depot Sheet for changing all ammeters from the beginning of 1937, including all BT.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} series, we were to change ammeters of all Ph.III cars, it would mean changing another 300 instruments costing 15/- each, with the addition of a labour charge of 2/-.
