Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}4/W181214. In a memo I have received from Mr. Johnson, re. the above, the following note has been added by Mr. Royce, and I thought it should be brought to your attention. "It sounds beyond belief that after all this time we are still not fitting these brakes. If we can make on, then we can make many with a little extra expense, but this is now too late. I consider this has hung fire far too much by various and several people, since the first agreement to the suggestion. I would like Mr. Wormald and Mr. Nadin to realise and look into it that it should not occur in the next similar case." Handwritten/Stamped: MADE AT CROWLEY EP.{G.
