EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} /T12/F9619.

I give below an extract of letter I have received from Mr. Platford, on which I shall be glad to have your comments, to enable me to reply :-

"A very good job done on cars here in way of valve covers - very neat too and effective - see Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} and EH. and ask if can be adopted".
