| (2) by Mrs Royce when Mr Royce was taken ill, and has not been attended to by him. I understand, however, that as the matter was so urgent we had already taken it up, and the ball bearings with cast cages are being fitted to the cars we are at present building, also to all repair cars, and to every car in Mr Platford's department. The ball bearings with sheet metal cages have been returned to the makers who admit they are faulty and who are supplying cast cages in their place free of charge. A.J.Deas.
