| To By... from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/N.31.10.38. MR. Series - Bentley Bonnet Fastener. The sketch of the bonnet fastener is to draw attention to the dangerous condition in which they are left. The stamping is not trimmed in any way, and the sharp corners have been responsible for a man at K.{Mr Kilner} tearing open the palm of his hand. Can this be altered please, the time factor could not be more than a minute. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
