| By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Hr. X.4209 A.T. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}18/F2.3.21. X4209 RE. KNOCK ON CAR DUE TO REAR SPRINGS ON AXLE ROLLERS. -------- Further to our EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}8/F1.3.21 re the above, we learn that these wearing plates are being fitted earlier than we were notified in your BY7-F9.12.20, and that arrangements have been made for these plates to be put on about the middle of "O" Series. The chief points for your consideration, by Committee therefore, are :- 1. Whether we are to fit these to all/further cars prior to delivery. 2. Whether we shall consider the question of fitting these wearing plates retrospectively on cars already delivered, either all cars or certain cars only. [Stamped Text] RECEIVED EP.{G.
