"GOSHAWK" HOOPER LIMOUSINE.

We do not consider that the alterations made to the windscreen on the limousine have gone far enough. The division of the windscreen is right in the line of vision. We consider that the division should be 2" lower. This would also make it much better when driving with it open because at the present time one has to look through the bottom pane in order to see any ground 10 or 15 yds. from the seat.

We hope that you are arranging that the side curtains on the open Hooper body for "R" are made so that they open with the door.
