To CWB. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y766 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG17.6.25. 44-PK CAR. X8770 With reference to the above car. We should like to know when we are going to have this car returned to the Works. At the moment there are a number of experiments held up waiting for this car. We suggest that if it is intended to carry out tests with the louvred bonnet, you may be able to arrange to take the louvred bonnet which was sent down for 44-FK and fit it on to one of your cars in London so that 44-PK car can be released.
