To Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

261 B

In conversation with Fedden yesterday, he mentioned that he had run his Bentley car 56,000 miles. Although the car has been in for decarbonisation I do not know whether we have looked at the bearings.

I suggest you might write to him and tell him that even cars made by Rolls-Royce need attention at times, and we think that it might pay him to send his car in for overhaul.
