Remax: These are at present thought very good. Will you please order one set of four to try out on a car, they should be chromium plated all over (as the sample). We should like to keep the sample permanently so please pass invoice for this. We are keeping the demonstration model bonnet for a few days. Ewarts: We are not interested in these as they are the wrong type and unsuitable for our drop sided bonnets. Please return the samples. Rotherham: The same type as Ewarts, - not interested. Ripaults: The screw type are of no use to us and the samples can be returned, we shall be interested to see the spring loaded type. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.J.Lidsey. | ||
