| NOT. OF Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4117 Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}19/W18.11.29. Re Quarterly Complaints. I called at N. on Friday last to take up a certain number of points where Cricklewood appear to have carried out free of charge work on such a large number of Cars, in comparison with other Depots. Unfortunately Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} was away. A.{Mr Adams} and Cliburn informed me that it was their opinion that the reason for this was on account of the greater number of Cars which were attended to by them as compared with Paris and ourselves. I was not able to get what I considered a satisfactory explanation, and as I understand that Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} is coming to Derby very shortly, I propose to discuss the matter with him then. Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} | ||
