| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} [Handwritten]: X8420 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rml/LG28.1.27. [Handwritten]: X8420 X235 Will you please arrange for the front braking to be reduced on all experimental 40/50 HP. cars as opportunity occurs. This means either fitting levers G.72013/4 or G.75413 according to the type of equalising shaft employed. We should also like to make sure that there are no hydraulic dampers on the cars which are not of the latest pattern. We believe those on the front of 9-G-111 are now obsolete, as well as the rear.
