Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} ✓ ORIGINAL HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG21.6.26. 12-EX - EAC-V111 CHASSIS. 10,000 MILES TEST - IN FRANCE. [Handwritten]: X7770 X7940g/s As there has been a large number of new pieces fitted to this car since it was at W.W. we are proposing that before it leaves for France, Mr. Hancock should call at WW. with the car. The car should arrive at WW. just after lunch on <strikethrough>Wednesday</strikethrough> [handwritten: Thursday] the <strikethrough>23rd</strikethrough> [handwritten: 24th]. We attach a list of experimental parts which are fitted to this car. The Works point out that as all the instructions on the old type axle have been held up, it is necessary that the new front axle and necessary parts should be instructed as soon as possible.
