Huckerby}2-5-38.? Actually, we have one set of the Red springs and four sets of the others at the moment, which means that we have used two sets of each. In view of your remarks we will wait a bit, and if it is found that we need some more, we will get into touch with you again. Dealing with the last paragraph, we are afraid we cannot answer this with any degree of certainty, although we are pretty sure that the majority of cars, to which we have fitted Long Plates, have not had the Packing Ring.
