EXPERIMENTAL CARS.

We wish to dispose of 98-NK car. This car is one of the original Phantom cars made from a Silver Ghost chassis. The car is obsolete in many respects and you may find, after you have received a report from the Repair Dept., that it would be better to dismantle it and use up any parts which could be used and scrap the remainder. We are sending the car to the Repair Dept. and will let you have a list of the experimental pieces on 98-NK car, also 8-EX car.

We assume that you will let Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} know what you wish to be done to these cars.
