Overheating Floorboards. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}6/W3714. We are now receiving several complaints on this matter, and I have one now before me, - 47EB, Lord Herbert Scott, which is a Trials Car, and on which we may try some experimental features. I would like to try on this car the double shuttered bonnet? Is this possible? I should be glad if you would let me know something about this matter as I am in communication with Sales Dept. as regards the treatment of this car for this trouble and have promised to look into the matter as regards some such device, and am anxious to let them know something as soon as ever possible. [Handwritten note 1] This is a company's car & may would be a good opportunity of pushing forward the experiment. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} [Handwritten note 2] We should do all possible on this job Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 3/7/14 [Handwritten on left margin] X1085 This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
