| BY5-P9.10.23. contd. - 2 - In regard to the recommendation made that we should try their standard stainless chromium steel, we pointed out that undoubtedly the basis of the American modification was a color question, the 25% nickel steel being somewhat similar in color to the nickel silver we use as a general finish for the bright parts of the car.
