Patch Instrument Boards, Phantom. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/E14.4.31

There is a Standardisation Sheet dated 5.2.31, No.7530/5530, which has come before me for completion, in regard to fitting plain glass with reflectors stuck on to prevent complaints of cracked glasses.

The point I cannot quite understnd is that on the back it says: "For Repairs Only".

Would you please let me know what action is being or has been taken to introduce this modification on production?

The extra cost is given as 12/2 per car for repairs only, but surely on production plain glass would actually be cheaper than that with the holes drilled.
