RE TR{Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance} ALTERATIONS FOR OLD TYPE CHASSIS.
BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}4/EJ14.4.19. x2568

I quite agree that we ought not to throw away existing good parts for slight improvements, but of course any repairs regarding safety and reliability should be done.

I attach a sheet of points I am in favour of, and those I think are not worth doing.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}

List attached.
