Stepirons - 25 HP. & P.2. With reference to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/13.2.34 on this subject we have now carefully studied some drawings which have been prepared to show the effect of platform steps 2" lower than our present standard, and we have come to the conclusion that this would be a very desirable modification and we are therefore going to ask you to introduce 2" lower stepirons on both models as soon as possible. After, therefore, considering the matter and investigating the question of material, etc., would you kindly let me know when you anticipate being able to introduce this as standard. Cx.{Major Len W.
