| X4-554. [handwritten] To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MJ.3.1.33. 25 HP. MATERIAL. We see no reason why on the future 25 HP. model [struck through] material [handwritten] we should not use the Peregrine type of radiator shutter made up from drawn tube instead of the present more expensive type. As this is simply an alteration in the form of material there appears to be no need for any tests but it may be advisable to fix up one set in order that the appearance may be criticised.
