| X1140. To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.5.10.32. BONNET FASTENERS. This item is on the agenda for tomorrow. We did not issue a Standardisation Sheet for the cheap bought out bonnet fasteners because the comparison in prices was obviously unfair. Attached note from RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} shews the saving if we adopt similar materials as we are prepared to accept in bought out fasteners. If the design was modified the cost could be reduced further.
