| X. 9800 To BY from CJ. Copy to Hor. Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Copy to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} CJ9/E3/12/24 Referring to BY/Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}2/W29/11/24, addressed to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}, re side lamps, one had hoped it was understood that there were to be no novelties introduced into the 'V' Series which can be avoided. We are very anxious that the 'V' Series should be kept as nearly as possible to the 'U' Series. Therefore the singlepole lamps should not be fitted to the 'V' Series. Please make it a rule not to attempt to introduce such alterations without first consulting us. CJ. | ||
