| R.R. 235a (100H) (LL 354. 3.7.12) G 2699. R9/F 18.10.13. CJ10/GT161013. Re Van Cutson. Car No. 2127. COPY XS5 To J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} I have no objection, but why not a shutter bonnet, so that it can be closed in cold weather. Something may be wrong with either the engine or the radiator, otherwise the statement seems exaggerated. A cutout will probably improve matters somewhat and may please the driver and customer. The Works should [struck-through text with 'seek' written above it] do something instead of writing so many sheets, they cost more money than the work. I wonder how many would be found to be the total up to now, on this particular piece of work. They really needed no information from me, R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
