Dear Sirs, When the writer was last at Derby you drew his attention to the terminal nuts being loose and we found that in a few isolated cases this was so and we have now taken steps to see that this will not occur and we enclose a sample from our Works showing what they propose to use as they consider this stem to be as large as is safe. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD, [Signature: G.R.N. Minchin] [Handwritten note:] These are O.K. W.R. X 664. | ||
