| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ 1/2 X8260 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M17.12.26. PHANTOM BONNET. X. 8260 X. 7280 With reference to the new bonnet we have not shewn any handles, and as the fasteners are now carried on the bonnet side it appears that they could be used a s handles, thus saving some fittings and rivets, and we suggest that the experiment be first tried like this. If it is not found entirely convenient we can provide handles at a later date. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
