We are much obliged for your recommendations and give you our views below:- i. we agree that the strap guides on the body guard rail are at present in a very awkward position and we should like them to be altered. But we think it would be sufficient to fix them at 45° to the present position; ii. we approve of the action you have taken in altering the position of the strap guides on the rearmost rail of the grid; iii. we have had an opportunity of discussing with EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} the suggestion that you should use the knurled nut type of fixing and EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} has made it clear to us that it is not practical to do so. Therefore, we think you had better adhere to the existing screw handles. RECEIVED 1931 JUN 25 Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
