W/S. {Derby Works / Sales}
Bly. {B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/R.27.3.39.

Many thanks for your note.

I think your suggestion of getting a reliable man from K. {Mr Kilner} to measure these American cars is a very good one, particularly as K. {Mr Kilner} have shown themselves very expert in doing this job. I do not know whether K. {Mr Kilner} will require any further authority from me, but if so, shall be glad if you will let me know.

I will let you know when I think we have sufficient figures. The work should be booked to Order No. 52401.

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
