| from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} to RS.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} 87960. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}6/T.5.9.30. 129-GN. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1E/E4.9.30. We must accept your decision - that this car is not suitable for Trials, nor is it suitable for sale, and that the vibrations are, in your opinion, very bad. I therefore suggest that you send the car back to Darby in order that we may try to improve it. I have not tried the car myself, because, in a general way, I really do not try any cars. However, Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} and I will, when it is returned, go out with the other officials whose duty it is to pass these cars. If it is possible, it would be helpful to send us the other car that you compared with 129-GN., we will then try and tell you what can be done. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
