Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}25.1.34, I do not think that this matter need take up your valuable time, because it is a matter that could be easily applied when fitting up the signals, which, as you know, is done at the Coachbuilders. We are inserting a telltale light in one or two cars experimentally. We much appreciate the suggestion, and will now try it out and get to know something about it in practice. Cx.{Major Len W.
