Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ["Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}" is struck through] Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}4/W30.6.19. RE BONNETS & LOUVRES. With reference to C6/C26.6.19 it has been decided not to fit louvres to the standard chassis bonnets, but the sliding doors or shutters instead. We think that these latter are perhaps unnecessarily expensive for the benefits which they give and we have a change under consideration. Any proposed new standard will, of course, be put before you, before being adopted. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
