| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} x 7380. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}2/WJ.3.3.30. FRAME MODIFICATIONS. N. Sch 3040, 3037. We want to fit the larger diameter tube in front of the radiator and the tube behind the radiator to 22, 23, and 19-EX, and also to probably one or two Trials cars. Will you, therefore, please order the necessary material for this number of sets. We anticipate that we shall want to fit the shock absorber on the engine foot scheme to one or two cars but the design may be modified ultimately and therefore, perhaps it is inadvisable to put more than three sets in hand.
