| X7962 To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}16/KW.12.10.34. Engine Unit out of Hall's Chassis, B-35-AE. We removed the standard unit from this car as soon as it was handed over to us. As far as we know the car had only run to and from the Coachbuilders. The unit is at present up to date but if it remains in store it will deteriorate and become obsolete in due course. We recommend that this unit should be handed over to production to be fitted to another chassis. If and when the experimental unit is removed from Hall's car, another unit could then be allotted to him. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
