| 45430 PN{Mr Northey}2/DN18.6.26. RECEIVED 16 JUN 1926 TO Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM PN{Mr Northey} BH With reference to Standardisation Sheet X.No.5430, I note that copies of this have been sent round as completed. I take it that this is the result of a clerical error, because in fact, the Sheet is not completed, as I have refrained from signing it until a piece of information asked for in my PN{Mr Northey}5/DN15.6.26 is available, which BJ is especially anxious about. I am quite aware and in entire agreement as to the policy involved in respect of this proposed modification, but naturally we are very anxious to know from those responsible for the design, whether there is any conceivable way of achieving this same or equivalent result without so serious a loss as entailed by adding 6 feet to the R.H. turning circle.
