| R.R. AND CONDUIT, LTD., DERBY. Mr Wormalds office Messrs. Parnell & Hives. Mr. Royce wishes you to press forward with the spring buffers in conjunction with the old type pivots. If these should prove satisfactory it would be far easier to fit these spring buffers rather than change our pivots. I want to press forward with all speed with these experiments and let Mr. Royce have information as soon as possible as he thinks that this will, probably, be the best way out of the problem. CHW.
