| TO BL.) FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) 40/50 BONNET. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M11.1.27. [Handwritten Annotation] XS260 x5260 With reference to R1/M3.1.27., would you please note that the figure '⅛' for the shorter bonnet, mentioned in paras. 2. & 6. should be 1⅛". Would you kindly correct your copy. In spite of this alteration we still think that R's remarks are apposite, as even then the decrease is only of the order of 3½%. We are setting out R's suggestions for improving the appearance, and shall despatch them in the course of a few days.
