With reference to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std8/AP.22.3.38., on the subject of Belts for the above. As some of the Cars to which these Fans have been fitted are used in and around London, it is quite likely that sooner or later we shall receive a request to replace the Fan Belts. We have had a word with the British Goodrich Co. who have offered to obtain six Belts from the Burton Works and hold them on London in readiness. We presume, however, you will wish to place an Order that is of course if you have not already done so, and no doubt you will let us have two or three so that we are in a position to deal with any emergency.
