| X845 Z331/ N15/B3412 Re Undersheets Mr Barrington 3-4-12 Mr Platford [Struck through] Mr Wormald [Struck through] Mr Spinney [Struck through] Mr Bailey [Struck through] [STAMP: 3 APR 12] We have been trying for a long time to get some undersheets through which will keep the floorboards cooler than at present. The object of this sheet is to remind you that the warm weather is coming and we shall have the usual number of complaints re overheated floor-boards. We should, therefore, do all in our power to push forward with the experiments on the new under-sheet. We are turning out 1 1/2 cars every day which will very probably require altering.
