| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}..from PN.{Mr Northey} Copy to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} x7960. PN.{Mr Northey}1/WT26.1.30. Dictated 24.1.30. x5770. x7960. 25 H.P. Chassis. Is it proposed to fit the low-inertia type of slipper-drive device to the smaller chassis also, and if so has it been designed or tested, judging from certain complaints with the 25 H.P. type, this would appear to be desirable ? Am I right in taking the view that this modified slipper design is proving to be altogether more reliable in remaining "put" than with the old type ? Because many thousands of pounds may be saved in twelve months to the Company is this proves to be the case. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
