Gear Lever Rattles on the Bentley.

Replying to Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} /SB {Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} 20/HR.4.2.35.

Attached is a report that we have recently issued on gear lever rattles. From this you will see that we have found a cure but that this cure has not yet been standardised. This being so, you would probably like to tell Mr. Ballantine that if he will be patient for a little longer we shall be able to offer him a permanent cure for his trouble.
