| To B.J. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8260 40/50 HP. BONNET SHUTTERS. X8260 X1085 Now that it is agreed to delete the rear bonnet shutters, we suggest that we should introduce these without waiting for the new design of bonnet shutter. There will be a definite saving when we delete half the shutters and we consider that we should take advantage of this and leave the question of the cheaper form of shutter as a further development. If you will return the standardisation sheet for the deletion of bonnet shutters we will send a note round to all the Officials who have agreed to this that this now only applies to the rear shutters.
