FAIREY'S CAR 34-GN. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has asked us to bring the brakes of this car up to date as far as possible with ribbed drums, and fit a high compression head. By/SS.{S.

Will you therefore please instruct the necessary parts. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
