Will you please take every precaution to see that drivers using any vehicle, belonging to the Company, or any other Company, shall not drive at a speed more than four miles per hour in our Works.

This rule is now almost totally disregarded by everyone, and narrow escapes of accidents frequently occur.

Will you please instruct all your drivers and testers that this rule must be rigidly adhered to, and we have had to complain so often that it will be necessary for us to take drastic steps with any offenders.

Will all Chiefs kindly stop any person who is driving more than the regulation speed of four miles per hour in the yard.
