Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/E20.3.36 Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KW.19.3.36 I should be glad to know what can be done about the suggestion contained in the last paragraph. I do not of course know what alteration has to be effected to enable rubber to be inserted. It may be that we are committed to the parts for the first 50 or 60 cars but could arrange for future ones to be made so that rubber could be inserted. I should be glad to hear from you after you have had an opportunity of investigating it. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
