They are, however, unable to make louvered bonnets from the hard material which we use for plain bonnets, as it is very difficult indeed to prevent hard material cracking at each end of the louvres, as the operation of forming the double type of louvre is a very severe one. 11/- We are arrangeing for the pedal stems to be increased to .500" diameter on the adjustable pedals, which we are producing experimentally.
