Dear Sirs, We beg to thank you for your letter of the 21st inst., We note the source of your information, and we are particularly desirous of getting at the cars that are giving trouble. We are accordingly taking up the matter with Mr. Northey, to see if there is anything further we can do with regard to getting in touch with the individual cars, and really getting an idea as to where the trouble is coming from. We know you will realise that it is our earnest desire to keep matters going smoothly, especially during the first six months, which must be the most critical period. We note with satisfaction that on the experimental cars you are experiencing freedom from trouble. | ||
