Will you please order sufficient material, Spec: 236, to produce a further 300 Rollers to cover 'C' series. Up to the moment we have supplied Hoffmanns with sufficient steel to produce 100 rollers, and in addition we have supplied 300 rollers to them, and a further 100 are going through the shops. Provision has therefore been made to cover 500 cars that may be affected, and with the material now requested our requirements should be completely covered. If material to size is not available, the nearest size should be turned down to 2 1/8 dia. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
