Scope and content

Refers to Briggs Motor Bodies not being able to produce helmets due to an insufficient quantity of chin straps. A simplified strap is suggested, which SZ and Mr Baillie [sic] find unacceptable as it increases the danger of broken necks. Discussions for improved helmets and straps are included, and the contributions of Teddy Toy and Helmets Ltd in producing them.
