| - 2 - BYL/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 19.1.25. Any parts not specifically included in the above, such, for instance, as the Sequence Starter, are definitely cut out of the program. It must be clearly understood, however, that we shall be using the fabric coupling between the engine and the gear box, to the latest designs which we have recently received, on all except the first few cars in "V" Series. After discussing the frame question with the Order Office, I am satisfied the best thing to do is maintain the present type "V" Series frame throughout. [Signature] BY.{R.W.
