| γ 406 To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} c. HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} c. Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Ms. ROLLED STEEL BRAKE SHOES - B.III. Since we asked to have welded shoes on the next B.III cars, New Hudson Ltd. have reduced their price from 30/- per shoe to 10/6d., for the experimental quantity. We think that as we cannot beat this price that we should buy rolled steel shoes. Will Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Ms. instruct New Hudson to proceed. New Hudsons have also reduced their quotation for quantities, but this latter price needs careful consideration. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
