With reference to your note R1/P311213, we are fitting to 2704 an undershield similar to the Austrian Trials type, but endeavouring to eliminate one of the faults which that undershield possessed, namely, that it was necessary to dismount the Exhaust System before the undershield could be taken down. We have divided the undershield into two parts and the one half can be easily dismounted.
