| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} C. to BJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL. BONNET SHUTTERS. X8260 X1085 We understand it is agreed we delete the back shutters. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} will provide a less expensive scheme; the original one was made when we could afford less for tools than we can at present. Shutters should be taken off while painting if possible, and paint in the sliding parts can then be scraped off, and shutters made to work properly. I cannot help thinking I should like to see the end of the front ones also. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
