CHROMIUM PLATING. X.1360 X.7800 X.7250

With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml2/LG17.10.28, we were informed by Cannings at the Show that it was not possible to chromium plate on nickel silver. It was necessary to have a coating of pure nickel.

We presume you have taken account of this in saying you are going to get a chromium plated radiator.

With reference to the first 'SS{S. Smith}' 18-EX - as R.{Sir Henry Royce} does not care for bright lamps we have instructed black. We shall still desire however to have a chormium radiator, and door handles, wind screen etc. for the second SS.{S. Smith} The lamps also can be chromium plated.
