Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.5/KT.22.12.32.

20/25 THREE RATE CHARGE SCHEME.

Answering your PN.{Mr Northey}2/WT21.12.32. the present position of the above scheme as fitted to experimental cars is as follows :-

Chassis GAW.3 - has complete scheme working O.K. but switchbox is not of the latest up-to-date design to D.Sch.591.

Chassis GHW.76 - - ditto -

Chassis GAU.14 - - ditto -

Chassis GNL.60 - Has correct dynamo but switchbox and distribution board are obsolete.

Chassis 2.PER.II. This has the correct scheme as for the 20/25 chassis above, but still has not the latest switchbox to D.Sch. 591.

This leaves us with one complete set to be fitted to a chassis, and we should like to know whether this is to be GKT.22 or GFT.46, or any other car you may have in mind.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.
