Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} ORIGINAL Hsl/LG25. 8. 8. 24. X9941 X9940 RE. ACCIDENT WITH 4-WHEEL BRAKE TEST CAR IN FRANCE. We attach a report from our Mr. Lidsey who is in charge of the cars at Chateauroux, France. This report has been got out in conjunction with the driver who was driving 35-PK car when the accident occurred and is agreed to by him. It will be seen therefore that this cannot be attributed to the 4-wheel brakes. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
