Extract from R2/M3.6.24.

To BJ. from R.{Sir Henry Royce}
etc.

In response to your memo BJ2/H24.5.24, to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}

I had the impression that I had dealt with most of these matters, but the following are my opinions however:-

(1) WIRE WHEELS - RUDGE-WHITWORTH. X.421.

BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} objects at present on certain grounds to these wheels. I suggest that further tests should be made and that a sample should be sent to WW.

(2) BEVEL PINIONS & WHEELS FITTED TO FIRST 220 OF 20 HP SERIES. X.4247. E.4569.

There appears to me to be no reason for a desperate policy, and I suggest that we only change these gears whenever the cars come into the Works for overhaul.
