| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} at W. LID.{A. J. Lidsey} X470 Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}14/I/20-9-33. I have received from Park Wards a Lucas horn with a chromium-plated wire mesh front, or stone guard, This horn was temporarily fitted by Park Wards to one of the Bentley cars at their Works so that Sales Officials might judge of its appearance. As you know, it has been turned down because it is considered the horn with the grille front, such as is now being fitted to 40/50 R.R. chassis, harmonises better with the radiator shutters. The ownership of this horn with the stone guard front appears to be something of a mystery. Park Wards seem to think it came from you. Is this correct please, and would you like me to return it to you? Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
