| To B.J. } from R. {Sir Henry Royce} c. to C. c. to CJ. c. to LHS. {Lord Herbert Scott - Chair} c. to PN. {Mr Northey} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to HY. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} c. to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} X3730 R1/M14.2.22. X.3830 X.1775. I suggest that Mr. Evernden, who takes great interest in body-making, might be used as a connecting link between the coachbuilders, Lord Herbert Scott (Mr. Spinney) and ourselves as chassis builders. Regarding the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) and Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) I understand a great effort will be made to sell these as complete cars, and if so it would seem that we want to have ready models of standard bodies that will fit all likely buyers viz:- 1. Open 4 seaters. 2. Sporting 2 & 3 seaters. 3. Limousine single and double. 4. Single door 3 seater open and closed (coupe) 5. Landaulettes. (doubtful) R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
