X 8290 HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} BY8/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 23.7.25. Referring to RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}5/BE. 22.7.25. we have already altered the Works' Drawings in regard to the undersheet where it fouls the cross steering tube on bump, so this matter is now in order. In regard to the selector spring, I have put this on order and informed the Works to bring it in immediately it is available. I do not know if Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} considers that we should replace existing parts on boxes built. If so, it means that if you can supply the Works with this spring immediately We will instruct them to start fitting same. I cannot stop production at the moment as it would interfere with Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s program. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
