| X8600 S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}5/M/23.7.27. Spare Wheel Carrier. Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/LG21.7.27. and the last paragraph, we shall be glad to know whether the [crossed out: the] type of grid referred to, is the same in most respects as that at present fitted to 40/50 HP. Chassis. The reason for enquiring, is that we have had several failures of these abroad and the suggestion now is, that we should cease to fit, about which we are in correspondence with EY.
