RE: B.5 BONNETS.

As it has been decided that Messrs. Park Ward should produce the bonnets for production chassis, we suggest the following procedure should be considered :-

LOP's.

The existing list of parts should be separated, the bonnet top plates, side plates, clips, etc. which are required by Messrs. Park Ward, should be called the bonnet LOP.

The rest angle, valance plate etc. should have a LOP. of their own, and be called the rest angle and valance plate LOP.

Details.

We shall have to supply Messrs. Park Wards with detail drawings of the top and side plates, in order that they can get them produced.

A complete assembly drawing of the side plates will also be required, giving the particulars of the catches and clips etc.
