Rolls-Royce Ltd., Experimental Dept., Nightingale Road, D E R B Y. WRm/SMD{J. Smedley} For the attention of Mr. Steadman. 1026 Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of yours of the 16th., regarding Lock Bonnet Fastener, the Fastener being similar to the type supplied for Rover Bonnets. It is possible for us to adapt a handle with a Lock in to the particular Fastener mentioned. This would be the same Lock Handle as the writer left with you some time ago and which you have recently returned. We cannot see how it is possible to fit the stationary part of a locking devise inside, although we appreciate that this would make a neater job. It might be possible to fit a Lock above the Handle altogether, and this point could be gone into further. If you would care to have another look at the Lock Fastener which you returned to us, will be pleased to let you have it on hearing from you. Yours faithfully, p.p. AMAL LIMITED. | ||
