| R.R. 255A 300 s) (L.L. 459 26.7.12) (S 2710). WP27/T91012. Re Lanchester Gear Box. Mr Sanderson. 9.10.12 With reference to your sheet S51/327912 we have now had this job put right. We now understand from Mr Bailey, who was with Mr Royce at the time this gear box was received by him, that Mr Royce stated that the cause of the trouble was bad packing, and it is probable that the Railway Representative who called also got this impression. Will you please let us have order number for repairs to this and oblige. I does not look as though we could claim on the Railway Co. F.P. (Handwritten) X440 Clerk/ Can we get this O/No AYL 19/12 | ||
