Huckerby} 11.5.38. we are releasing the wheels for the first 100 cars as already agreed. In regard to 'B' series (101-300) we propose to hold these up until your tests are completed with the 30° cone angle, when presumably you will issue a standard-isation sheet if satisfactory. Incidentally the Works are asking for immediate release of all outstanding details for 'B' series. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Mtn. | ||
