This scheme of which you will now have full details is to run 10,000 miles in France on 6-B-IV. Although the scheme is almost certain to be successful as we have already tried the same thing on 1-B-IV, yet certain adjustments may have to be made to it before it is ready for France. This means 6-B-IV may have to go out with the front brakes Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}106 now fitted. Consequently we would like another pair of front aluminium drums making and the steering levers to suit them, so that we can send out the axle as a complete unit. The parts required are :- 2 Drums Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}55, exactly similar to the 2 recently instructed in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F.
