| x4094 305- To B.Y. from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c.c. Mr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RMC. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/HP.14.7.34. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Bonnet Fasteners. Herewith is N.Sch.4131 shewing the lightened form of Amal bonnet fastener which it is intended to use on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III bonnets. As one feature in particular, namely, the area of the handle bearing, seems rather inadequate, we have suggested that a bush might be inserted by the fastener-makers, either by welding, or possibly riveting in and opening out.
