With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG12.5.24, what is the present position in regard to our adopting enclosed valves as is apparently being done at Springfield. We must not forget that we shall probably go on selling the present 40/50 for at least another year, and we do not want to run the risk of supplying cars which will not be satisfactory to customers.
