| 405 To Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Les.11/B.4.4.40. BENTLEY V.{VIENNA} BONNETS. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}14/JH.19.3.40. We understand that the final arrangement with regards to Bentley V.{VIENNA} Bonnet and accessories is that Park-Wards should be responsible for the complete unit. We are sure that there will be far less difficulties if Park-Wards finally buy bonnet catches and hinges. Although we have no pressings available to Part No. EB.4404, the toolssare complete and we are trying to obtain a few samples. For future production supplies we quite agree that Park-Wards should buy this bonnet eye from the firm who have the necessary tools. [Handwritten: Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} 102] | ||
