Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}—Ox. LID{A. J. Lidsey} re Phantom Bonnet Stops. Please receive herewith: LeC.3537 shewing complete design for the stops on the bonnet to prevent the paint being damaged when the bonnet is open. Will you please make an experimental set as soon as possible, working direct from the LeC. drawing. The design has been improved since our first attempt by stiffening up the pieces and making them in steel instead of aluminium. The spring buttons have been shortened to make them look neater. The pieces are interchangeable with the original scheme and they can be attached to the same bonnet. Sales consider this job important. will you please treat it as urgent. E/JNR.{Charles L.
