(10) It is agreed that you will use a lighter type of bolt lock, so reducing the door thickness to 2.5", and at the same time make enquiries re. the inside locks.

(11) The face of the screen pillar can lean at 10°, and not the door shut.

(12) You will consider the use of the Leverall sliding seats of the cheaper pattern.

There is one matter we should have informed you of. The height of the rear hinge of the bonnet at the centre is to be 27.900", or .150" more than you now have, the radii of the panels and the height of the side hinge being unchanged.

Yours faithfully,

for ROLLS ROYCE LTD.
