| x1209 To Mr. Peskett. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}10/KW.7.7.36. No. 30 Test House. We understand that the final water system for this test house is now complete, and that you are making preparations for a changeover. When this takes place, the beds will have to be completely shut down, so that you will naturally carry the job as far as possible before making this move. When the changeover takes place, however, will you please fit the H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints}& F.{Mr Friese} brake No.17294 type DPX4, which is in your Department. The existing brake No. B.10275 should then be completely overhauled (including the scale pan mechanism) and fitted to the second bed in the test house, replacing the existing DPX3 which type is unsuitable for our requirements. This brake can be stored at Shardlow as spare. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/C.T.Salt. | ||
