| EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}5/MJ.30.4.30. STAINLESS STEEL FITTINGS. With reference to Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}6/EDL/25.4.30. returned herewith. We have found that we have to anneal stainless steel in order to bend it. When we did this, we had no difficulty on No.1 American Experimental car. We can do any angles for our cars if the coach-builders will let us have the material, for their own jobs we presume they will have to learn how to do it themselves.
