We thank you for the booklet and letters concerning Messrs. Noble's Industries products.

We note that Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has some enamels providing a good egg shell black finish, and we suggest that a Goshawk 11. steering colum quadrant be blacked and tested, as this is the one fitting where the black enamel at present used seems to rapidly come off.
