Bonnet Clips. Design not to scratch frame strips.

E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} In your memo E18/T16214, you ask for fuller information about the above, to be sent at the earliest possible moment.

We would like to remind you that on 1/5/13 we sent you particulars and a sketch of this device.

On 20/8/13 we sent you a second copy of the sketch and particulars, adding that Mr Platford approved of the idea, and thought it was worth while making a set to try.

On 26/8/13 we sent you a third copy of the sketch and particulars, stating that Mr Johnson wished a sample set to be made.

On 31/12/13 we sent you a fourth copy, at your request, of the sketch and particulars, and we now attach a fifth copy as requested.
