Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Stendman. Widney Unbroken Line Top Hinge to Bonnet - Bentley. ----------------------------------------------------- We have received a telephone communication from Messrs.Hallam, Sleigh & Cheston this morning to the effect that their Mr.Booth will be here at 11.0 a.m. on Monday next, the 8th.inst., and will have with him the bonnet hinge for the sample Bentley bonnet. It would be very useful if you could arrange to have the necessary parts ready for fitting this hinge to a bonnet, and also the necessary steel bonnet panels so that the bonnet can be built up without any delay.
