Strong}) Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X417 BJ/Py6/D22.3.26. Re: Miss Amy Stobart - Chassis GPK-19. The following is an extract from Memorandum No. 9266, St7/IW19.3.26, for your information:- "As for suggestions, the driver remarked that it would be an improvement if the corners of each vane of the radiator shutters were rounded. He said that it was best to clean these with the shutters open, but that the cleaning cloth was apt to catch on the sharp corners, and that it would be of great assistance if they were rounded."
