The memo was sent before the Pentastar was listed in the parts manuals. The
memo follows.
MODELS: SUPER MINX IV ESTATE, MINX VI, ALPINE V, TIGER, IMP DELUXE.
Design Instruction No. CB 2964 "PENTASTAR" BADGE FOR ALL N.A.S. MODELS
At the request of Management, it has been decided that all N.A.S.
Vehicles will have a "Pentastar" badge fitted to the Lower Front Wing on the
right hand side only. These are to be fitted as from the 1st February.
Therefore Planning Departments at Ryton, Linwood and Jensens are requested
to arrange for suitable drill jigs to be made to drill holes to fit the
badges in the positions shown in the accompanying sketches.
Provision is also to be made for a suitable sealing compound to be used
under the badge and around the fixing studs. This is to be done to prevent
water seeping through the holes and causing rust stains.
Supply Department are requested to have sufficient quantities of the
Nylon fixing bushes 9132945 (Carr Fastener's number 78/269), "Pentastar"
badges, and Sealing Compound Expandite SR 51 Part. No. 2517444 (or in the
event of this not being readily available, the sealing compound used
currently for glazing operations my be employed.) at Linwood, Ryton and
Jensen's and the 4000 badges which are situated a Ryton at the present
moment, should be divided accordingly, in order that they may comply with
this request.
Inspection Departments at Linwood, Ryton and Jensen's are requested to
ensure that all Badges are fitted in line with sketches supplied.
These 4000 badges are to be fitted as a temporary measure until such time as
the Production badge and instruction drawings are issued.

The Tiger parts list shows the Pentastar (2239866) on page XF1, with no
notation. The Alpine parts list (page X2, 5th issue) states "USA and Canada
only".
