re: Accident at Dudbridge. I was unaware of the accident you refer to until I received your letter. I find that a few days ago Messrs Abdela Mitchell of Brimscombe were using the crane (entirely at their own risk) and I presume the man mentioned is one of that firm's employees. The crane is in perfect order (having recently been overhauled) and I do not think it is usual to cover cogwheels of cranes of this description as it would interfere with the effectiveness of the machine. At the same time I shall be pleased to have your suggestions and to report them to my Committee.
