re 20.H.P. Chassis. 3. G.2. Electrical Equipment.

Replying to your memo EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T27.2.25, we attach hereto a copy of our memo EWT/HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 9/T17.3.25 which is self-explanatory.

Before, and immediately after this Chassis was handed over to the Repair Department on or about the 12th January to be prepared for Sale, we telephoned to the Experimental Department asking them to send someone over to remove these Experimental pieces, it would appear from enquiries we have made that this was not done.

We will write you further on the matter as soon as we receive reply from 'S'.
