| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X1360 DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/M20.10.28. CHROMIUM PLATING. X.1360 X.7800 X.7250 With reference to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rnl2/LG17.10.28, we were informed by Cannings at the Show that it was not possible to chromium plate on nickel silver. It was necessary to have a coating of pure nickel. We presume you have taken account of this in saying you are going to get a chromium plated radiator. With reference to the first 'SS {S. Smith} ' 18-EX - as R. {Sir Henry Royce} does not care for bright lamps we have instructed black. We shall still desire however to have a chomium radiator, and door handles, wind screen etc. for the second SS. {S. Smith} The lamps also can be chromium plated.
