We note that HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} now has some enamels providing a good egg shell black finish, and we suggest that a Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II. steering column quadrant be blacked and tested, as this is the one fitting where the black enamel at present used seems to rapidly come off.
