Are those went for 2.B.5. latest pattern, as I have seen a set with modified Everall taper striking plates fitted. WINGS. Pressed steel. The question of standardised wings for 1.B.50. and 2.B.5 as far as possible, owing to the cost of press tools. Question wings for 25/30-HP. common to four-light and six-light pressed steel. BODY MOUNTING BRACKETS. All models. Brackets on chassis to be of definite heights and position. Position, as far as possible, to be as near to centre of pillars A.B.C. BONNETS. Question Park-Ward fitting bonnets, all models. Bonnets are being sent in with a priming coat. We would much prefer to have these in plain metal to save time cleaning off, also bonnets at times are dented and wavy. Approximately four hours must be spent on preparatory work. STEP BRACKETS. Height of step brackets should be gone into on all models, as brackets have to be set up and wood blocks fitted by Bodymakers. Phoenix chassis drawing showing body mounting brackets and locating holes final. This is a rough outline of matters I wish to take up with you at the above Meeting. H.{Arthur M.
