| HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} RC{R. Childs}/CAP. 6051. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}18/JH.10.11.37. LIGHTER TYPE A.T. SPEEDOMETER DRIVE CABLE. Will you please arrange for a cable D.W.533 to be fitted to each of the cars 24.G.VI. and 27.G.VI. Actually DW.533 calls for a cable which is 56 inches in length but owing to a makers mistake, the cables supplied are only 54 inches long. To avoid delay, however, we think that this might go forward to test. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} | ||
