Re Triplex Glass. X 673 25-7-13 Na {Mr Nadin} 25/B25713. Mr Johnson is anxious that we should try some Triplex Glass in the windscreens of our test and experimental cars. I should be glad, therefore, if you have any screens which are broken, if you will let me have them in order that I may have this glass fixed. If you have no broken screens I am afraid it will be necessary to remove the glass in the screens at present fitted and replace it by Triplex Glass. We should have at least 3 or 4 cars, say, 2 experimental and 2 test cars fitted up in this way. Na. {Mr Nadin} This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
