| COPY. Mr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Mr. M&B/T 6.9.33. X5770 20/25HP TANK ENGINES 100 HR. TEST OF OILING MODIFICATION We have just had a telephone message from Major Howard to the effect that he will not be able to be present at the final running and tilting of the 100 hour test engine. As this test is being observed by his Local Representative Mr Hollands, he does not wish us to hold up the completion of the test. He is more interested in seeing the condition of the parts which have been modified, and for this purpose, he, accompanied by Major Rowcroft are proposing to be here Friday afternoon to see the engine dismantled, and we have arranged to pick them up at the Midland Hotel at 2 p.m. | ||
