| S/W. X4240 PN{Mr Northey}11/LR{Mr Ellor}/21.9.23. E.P.(Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) re: 20-HP Louvres. Vozuo We have a customer who insists on his order for a 20-HP car becoming active only when he is able to obtain from us a chassis in which the radiator shutters are included with the side of the radiator, i.e. he strongly objects to the appearance of the 20 at present by reason of the shutters sticking out in front. We may have to agree to include this item when standardised, without making any additional charge in this peculiar case, consequently it is important for us to know as soon as possible what will be entailed when the modifications comes along. Is it proposed that the shutters shall be part of the thermostat? Will the bonnet of any existing 20-HP be quite unsuitable? In replying to this, please send a copy also to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} PN.{Mr Northey} Shutters integral with the radiator will become standard on chassis. | ||
