Re Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 2/E.17.5.34. and the suggestion that the height of the horns on the front crossmember as fitted to Bn {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} 's car might be reduced, we send herewith Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} S.120. showing a modified design of bracket which enables the horn to be lowered until its large diameter just clears the cross-tube.
The only extra pieces as compared with the design as fitted are a stud nut and washer.
The horn is not modified in any way.

Will by please send EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} a print for filing.
