| X3729 To NP. from EJ. Copy to....Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BJ14/H12.4.23. Test Bodies at Works. With reference to the very ugly unfinished closed test bodies we are using at W., we are anxious that these shall not be mistaken by anyone in any part of the country, or by any visitor at the Works, for real R.R. cars. Please, therefore, have painted on each side, in a conspicuous and large type, "TESTING RIG NO. --" (10, 12, 16, etc.) B.J. | ||
