Re: Running of Bentley

With reference to your various memos. from the U.S.A. re the running of the Bentley Car, I shall be much obliged if you will let me have at your leisure a list of the modifications suggested for the Bentley Car, particularly for Export, as a result of your experience in the U.S.A.

In this connection I would quote Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 18/KW.5.2.34, in which it is quite clear that for American conditions we shall have to modify the design in several important particulars.
