| X2565 X4117 PN{Mr Northey}2/DN/23.9.21. S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} & CJ. X2565 X3461 Re Chassis No. 46-RE. In reply to Rd/Rnsl/57A/M17.9.21 - the understanding made with Mr. Fisher was that our charge would be approximately £25. for fitting the Shock Absorbers, and that he would be asked to pay this sum only if a reasonable and substantial improvement could be detected by reason of the device being there. Directly I am advised that this chassis is ready for me to test, I would like to do this. As I have arranged to be in Derby on Wednesday next, perhaps I could also attend to this matter at the same time.
