Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/SM14/L2913. Re old Experimental Cars. X.180 J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 2-9-13. We note that you have returned our memo re car for demonstration class, on the covering sheet of which you ask - "What will you do with the old experimental cars?" - to which we wish to reply that it has been our practice in the past to send these cars into the Repair shop with instructions to have all experimental fittings substituted by standard parts and sold as second hand cars. p.
