| ORIGINAL 21 Hotel de l'Ouest Laval To H from H, 69II May 29. 1922 X486 This car has run as follows. On May 27th 353 miles " 28th 357 " Previous mileage 8540 " Total mileage to May 28th 9250 " The car is holding together well except for rattle of spring shackles etc. We require some hardened washers to pack these with and should be glad if you will send on a supply of various thicknesses. We have only one top plate for the front spring left apart from the complete spring and it would be wise to send some more top plates which could be kept at Paris depot when we have finished here. Send also a supply of long centre bolts as these are often spoiled in taking off the rivetted nut. The complete spring we have here is no use as it is much too light although we could make use of the top plate in case of emergency. We have taken up the slack in the axle! | ||
