| Sn.{Mr Sanderson} [crossed out] c. to BP. [crossed out] c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X55 BY1/G.30.8.27. A-30 30-8-27 40/50 HP. CHASSIS - LOUVRED BONNETS. --------------------------------- As we have not yet received any definite instructions from Sales as to whether the louvred bonnet is no longer to be fitted to chassis destined for hot countries, I have discussed the matter with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and he agrees with me that for the time being we continue to supply louvred bonnets to all chassis which we know are going to be used in hot countries. Will Sn.{Mr Sanderson} therefore please arrange for the necessary information to be added to chassis instructions. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
