| PN.{Mr Northey} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 87960. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/ADL.7.31. We are somewhat concerned with the fact that the Maythorne saloon has not put in an appearance. We think that possibly you may have been waiting for an official request for this car. Actually, we are hoping to fit the new W.W. tail bearing to it which should make it a much more suitable car for trials than it is at present. We have the pieces ready when the car is available.
