| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mcr21/L30914. Re Experimental Cars. Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 30-9-14. Mr Wormald is of the opinion, and he trusts you are in agreement with him, that at this juncture it would be extremely advisable from a financial point of view, to prepare for sale every possible car that you have in the Exp. Dept., as it is very possible that we might be successful in selling these to the War Office or Admiralty Office. Cars that you decided to sell should be sent as early as possible in to the Repair Dept., notifying me, when Mr Wormald will at once see that a gang of men are immediately put on the job, to have same prepared as quickly as possible.
