To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from CJ. There is, therefore, a gap of the months of September and October for which no [strikethrough]production[/strikethrough] provision has been made so far as material is concerned. The Works are now authorised to order material for a further 50 chassis of Series 'U', EAC.III type. The Works should endeavour to confirm the tentative date of the 1st November at which the Works will be passing to Test 8 EAC II chassis per week. If the 50 EAC.III chassis, material for which is now authorised, will not carry them on to the date at which the Works will deliver to Test 8 EAC.II chassis per week, the Works should determine how many chassis are required to fill the gap and the date at which authority must be given to order the material, so as to avoid a gap in production. All calculations should be based on the fact that we require 8 chassis a week without a gap. CJ. | ||
