| To Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} For Depot Sheet. X442 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}1/MJ.20.8.30. X442 X411 STAYBRIGHT RADIATORS. A number of car radiators are now being sent through with Staybright Finish. Staybright is being used because it has a softer finish than Chromium plating and is not liable to the peeling off which occurs on plated finishes. The main point to note is that Staybright is not a hard material and on no account should any abrasive metal polish be used on it or scratches will be produced that cannot be removed. The normal procedure is to wash it free from dirt, and having cleaned it, polish with a soft dry cloth. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
