Mr. Geoffrey Smith's Car - B-67-AE.

Replying to Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}2/R.22.11.34, the cure fitted to 5-B-IV at present can be applied to any car. As we have done it, it means new axle shafts, but a more economical scheme could probably be used for curing complaints.

With regard to items 5, 6 & 7, we should certainly recommend that Mr. Smith should have these improvements.
