| 800 Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rml/R.31.10.38. TRIAL OF B.50. We should like to defer your trial of the B.50 until the second car is available, the one and only car we have is out of date in so many respects that it would not give you a reasonably representative impression of the final product.
