| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} X7260. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}2/KT.4.2.31. We have been trying the 100% stronger spring in the Phantom bonnet catches to eliminate bonnet rattles. We are satisfied that they are an improvement, and are quite reasonable to operate with the stronger spring. We therefore wish these to be brought into standard production. The spring is E.81914 which replaces E.76528. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
