To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} 87400 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}8/MJ.30.6.31. NO.6 TYPE LUGGAGE GRID. Will you please make up a set (4 off) of luggage grid handles to the attached sketch. These are for fitting to the luggage grid on 20-EX. which at the same time should be modified to the final scheme as on N.Sch.3282. The ultimate object is to produce handles in Bakelite or other moulded material, but these should be made up in metal in order that the shape can be approved of before producing moulds.
