| 500 S/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} re Slow Running. 25/30. So far as I can find, a Depot Instruction Sheet has not yet been circulated regarding the modification to overcome the poor slow running. I do not know whether this is hung up with you or Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} but should be glad if it could be urged along. The benefit on my car is very considerable - in fact so much so that I am wondering whether we ought not to arrange for it to be done on all 25/30's that come in to Depots, but before making a decision, I should like to have some information as to the cost of the modification.
