Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} X7260 R3/M6.11.28. 'SS{S. Smith}' AND G.4. X.5260 BONNET FASTENERS & LOCK. X.7260 X.1140 ------------------------ Many months ago we worked hard to produce a new design of these. Is the new design thought to be the best known? If not, what is? If it is, will it be on the trials cars of the above? What we are using are not good enough for next year. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
