C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} PN.{Mr Northey} re. 45HP.

We ought to realise that we cannot do much to this until we rebuild, but in the meantime the riding and steering should be much improved by the more effective dampers, especially when fitted with the automatic control.

This is an urgent job that should have first attention, and is much needed on this model.
