In issuing your report on the above, which we hope to receive to-day, Mr Elliott would like you to state whether you think the Bonnet should be fitted to all cars or whether it should be fitted to cars which for some other reason, such as heavy body etc. tend to overheat in this country, or whether you think it should replace the louvred bonnet for fitting to Colonial and Continental cars only. p.
