BONNET FASTENERS.

This item is on the agenda for tomorrow.

We did not issue a Standardisation Sheet for the cheap bought out bonnet fasteners because the comparison in prices was obviously unfair. Attached note from RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} shews the saving if we adopt similar materials as we are prepared to accept in bought out fasteners. If the design was modified the cost could be reduced further.
