Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG27.8.20. X.2496 X.3899 CLIPS FOR DYNAMO SUSPENSION. In reply to your telegram, we have despatched to you today clip for forward end of dynamo suspension. The clip we have sent is a sample of what is being sent away on the cars. We anticipate that the faulty clip which you have found on 6.EX Car is possibly a bad sample. The question of these clips being unsatisfactory was brought up sometime ago and over 500 of them were scrapped. All the cars on test were examined and faulty clips replaced. The design for these clips was taken from LEC.100. RECEIVED, AUG 28 1920 4 E.S 'S' 338V (100 L) 'c' e' e'2' 18-3-20) e 3618 | ||
