| -2- In view of Mr Royce's recent memo we have had a bonnet with 4 shutters rushed through, as 53NA{Mr Nadin} was not available. This is now in the Experimental Dept. and Mr Hives should be able to test same very quickly. The result of his report should enable us to decide whether these bonnets should be fitted on all cars that previously we would have fitted a louvred bonnet to. p.
