| X4601 To E.F.P. from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}4/M4/10/23. Rapid Test of first chassis in each batch. I send you some papers in connection with this matter, and I shall be glad if you will arrange to carry out these tests on standard chassis, as suggested by BJ. Mr.Hives and myself, considering all the circumstances, think it would be very advisable for you to take hold of this job. Will you kindly arrange to get the 40/50HP standard chassis which you passed over to Mr.Hives in your department, and carry out these tests exactly as laid down by BJ., and also get the report altered to suit suggestions which BJ. makes. With reference to the 20HP standard chassis, will Mr.Hives, as soon as he possibly can, forward to BJ. the log sheets in connection with the 10,000 miles on this chassis, which I understand is almost completed.
