| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/M2.10.24. NECOL-COLLODIONS PAINT. S.2720. X4547 We understood that several samples of this paint were being sent to you by the makers. It is unlikely you will want the glossy black as your experiments will probably be confined to the egg-shell black, and semi-matt black. If this is so, could you send us the glossy black down here as we would make some experiments tending to prove its usefulness.
