| X 1360 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} F.Pay. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} PN.{Mr Northey} EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Mr. Scts. re 25 HP. Brakes. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E21.11.33 Referring to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/MT.18.11.33 in view of what you say there appears to be no alternative other than to adopt the recommendation you make, i.e. return to the original lever. I note that you are looking into the question of increasing the front braking without the disadvantage referred to but gather from the result of PN{Mr Northey}'s talk with you to-day that you do not anticipate that we can have this on production for some time.
