27th. Oct. 1928.

Messrs. Bendix-Perrot Brakes Ltd.,
Westwood Rd.,
Witton,
Birmingham.

Dear Sirs,

We are in receipt of your letter of the 25th. inst. for which we thank you.

We regret to say that we have been told by our Chief Engineer Mr. Royce that he does not agree with the conversion of Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) cars to Front Wheel Brakes.

We therefore feel it will not be worth your while going further into the matter with us.

Yours faithfully,
