Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} re 40/50 - P.II. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/E4.2.31 Would you please let me know how we stand now in regard to the question of bonnet ventilators. It was agreed by R.{Sir Henry Royce} some months ago that our old slide ventilators were antiquated and that there was no reason why we should not have the up to date type which could be opened and closed without opening the bonnet.
