HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Bentley Chassis Electrical Equipment. E.5/HP25.8.35. Horns (Page 3.) No doubt you are holding up the question of the grilled fronts to the horns of the design matching the stone guards in view of the possibility that these may now be abandoned in favour of shutters. In that event no doubt you would have a modified front fitted to the horns more in keeping with the shutter effect. What we feel is that whatever is done with the front appearance of the radiator should be matched as nearly as possible with the front of the horns. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
