| X1322 To Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}7/JH. 20.4.36. Concrete Skid Pan. We should like if possible to make use of the road to the skid pan for test conditions. There will very shortly be no tram setts in Derby. If we could have 300 yards of 5" setts near the Works, considerable time will be saved during tests on suspension noise. We should also like to have a hump back bridge at one end of the road, similar to the one we use near the Red Gate. Will you let us know whether it is possible to incorporate these features without an undue increase in expense. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
