Messrs. Park Ward & Co.Ltd.,

For the attention of Mr.Ward.

Dear Sir,

Re: Chassis 11.B.5.

As you no doubt will remember the 3.B.50 bonnet top plates we sent to you had to be cut, reshaped, and welded to make them fit.

In order to obviate a recurrence of this trouble, we wish you to produce the bonnet top and side plates for the above chassis.

We therefore send you the following blueprints:-

EB.4772. Bonnet top plate - right hand.
EB.4773. " " " - left hand.
EB.4774. Bonnet side plate - left hand.
EB.4775. " " " - right hand.
EB.4776. Widney Unbroken line hinge.

We shall provide you with the clips, bonnet catches, stiffeners etc. in the course of a few days.

Yours faithfully,
FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.

CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS.
