TOOL BOX ON RUNNING BOARD. ---------------------------------- The proposal to use Staybrite for the protecting cover of the box fixed to the underside of the lid{A. J. Lidsey} has been turned down by West WitteringHenry Royce's home town on the ground of:- a/- not being necessary, b/- too expensive. The point I had in mind was that the position of the box is such as to ensure it being well sand-blasted with water and sand from the front wheels on wet roads. Possibly some kind of a hanging cover may be arranged later, if trouble develops. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
