In reply to your memo No5/B10314, we wish to state that Mr Royce has asked us to save these big wheels for the Northcliffe chassis. If you think that this means that the number should be increased to six perhaps you will kindly instruct accordingly. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [Signature] [Handwritten Annotation]: O.K / 16/3/14 [Second Memo] Mcr. No5/1Blc314. 16/3/14. In reply to the above, I am quite agreeable that the large wheels shall be reserved for the Northcliffe chassis. I would, however, suggest that we fit three of them with the large wheels and three with the smaller wheels, and that we do not order any further quantity at present.
