| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mcr4/L22215. Re Chassis 1926. D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} 22.2.15. Whilst chassis 1926 was being driven by Mr Haldenby on an experimental test run a short circuit occured in the wires of the lighting battery, which caused the latter to be destroyed by fusing. We should be glad to know whether this is covered by the insurance policy, if so perhaps you will kindly take the matter up and we will supply further particulars if necessary. Mcr.
