| X3499 To Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG15.4.21. The Allen Auto Speciality Co. New York. Radiator Shutters. With reference to your Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}16/NJ12.4.21 and the attached letter from the above Company. I saw samples of the Allen Shutters when I was in U.S.A. We have already written Springfield asking them to send to us samples of what they consider the most suitable Shutters for R.R. cars. We have adopted the policy lately of getting all material from America, from Springfield and getting them to see that it is the right quality before it is bought and sent to England.
