Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Mtn12/N.19.8.38. ------ We have sent the revised edition of print P.D.241 to Park Ward & Co., with instructions for the destruction of the original print. We notice that like the original print the new one shows the overall width of the front wings as 73" the increase from 71" as specified for the body on 1-B.50, doubtless being due to the increase in the front track of 2.240". The back track for 2.B.50 is, we have been told, to be 1.500" greater than the back track of 1-B.50 but we cannot trace having been told to arrange for an increase in the overall width of the back wings to correspond. We take it that such an increase is desired. Please confirm. Hn {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
