We constantly review the cars in the Expl: Dept: to see which one can be got rid of. Since the last quarterly report, we have handed over to Sales 4-G-11 and 5-G-11 to be sold. During the next quarter we should be able to rid of 46-PK, 49-GB and 7-G-11. Normally, we reckon that we require 5 cars of each type to carry out experimental work efficiently. This allows for :- A car being run 10,000 miles. A car for Mr. Royce's use. A car being dismantled in the Expl: Shop. 2 cars for experimental tests. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
