| S/W. 94/1 1011 Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 1/St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} 16.6.37. Experimental car 34 EX. In reply to your telegram reading :- "34EX. DO YOU REQUIRE PLAIN OR LOUVRED BONNET SIDES = HAMILTON" to hand this morning, will you kindly note we should like the new bonnet sides to have the usual flip-flap shutters, preferably sloped at 15 1/2 deg. like the back end. If you happen to have a suitable bonnet you want to use up which has vertical shutters but otherwise suitable, then this would do. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
