| X5260 C. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY/Cgh{W Clough}10/K.{Mr Kilner} 7. 5. 28. 20-HP BONNET SIDE STRIPS. In reply to Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/NRC{N. R. Chandler}11/KW3.5.28., as a result of the last 10,000 miles test on a 20-HP chassis we increased the size and number of rivets holding the side strip and bonnet angle together, and we think that the trouble you have experienced is with cars supplied before we introduced this alteration, if not perhaps you will let us know so that we can then go further into the matter.
