Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}16/I/21-3-34.

20/25 CAR 20-G-1V.

As we believe you know, C. will give up using this car immediately after Easter, when it will be sent to N. for them to remove the experimental parts from the chassis.

We shall ask N. to transfer the special parts for providing vacuum assistance to the clutch operation to car No. GAW-3 which C. will use in future.

Will you please provide N. with any new parts which the removal of this special clutch gear renders necessary on 20-G-1V, unless you consider that they can safely transfer to 20-G-1V the standard parts which will become available off GAW-3.

We understand that the only other non-standard feature you think ought to be removed from 20-G-1V before it eventually passes out of our possession is the throttle.

Will you please arrange for N. to be provided with standard parts to replace the experimental ones?

Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}
