Handwritten: Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FILED X1140. re- P.ll. Bonnet Stops. We have now seen 20-MY with the new bonnet stops fitted and we are satisfied to have them on all 40/50 h.p. chassis at an extra cost of approximately 15/- as quoted in E.ll/HP7.11.33 to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} We should like the heads of the studs which show through the top of the bonnet finished suitably for painting and not plated, so as to make them as little conspicuous as possible. Will you please let me know in due course on which chassis these will start to come through as standard. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
