| X9946 PN{Mr Northey}1/DN/28.1.24. TO Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM P.N. P.N. EXPERIMENTAL CAR - 46-PK. In reply to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG26.1.24 the triptyque in respect of this car should certainly include Austria and Italy, not that it seems of very much use doing any stelvioing with high speed Servo. I understand that you will prepare some sets of cast iron Servo brake shoes for this car. Do you propose that it shall start off with the Ferodo liners ? I explained to C.J. your views about the matter of testing other components of this chassis, and this he quite appreciates. How early do you anticipate on Friday morning the car will be in London, in order that the R.A.C. formalities can be put through ? P.N. | ||
