| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}..from PN.{Mr Northey} Copy to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hmr. 87960. PN.{Mr Northey}2/WT20.10.31 23-EX. There is a marked improvement in the general drumming and noise of this car since your efforts at W, to deal with this difficulty, but it is far from nice, or as good an example of the "Phantom II" as we would desire for demonstration purposes. We have put it into commission, and conceivably it may now continue to improve, which frequently is the case after the coachwork is no longer new. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
