| x264a To G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} W. Hancock Esq., Hotel de France, Chateauroux(French test region), Indre, France. HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std.20/JH.24.4.36. We have despatched to Chateauroux(French test region), one 20/25 one govenor control unit valve body and copper piping etc. for connecting the valve body to the distributing junction on the frame. We want you to fit this to B-56-BN {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} in place of the flexible connection at present fitted and run it for the rest of the car's mileage. If successful this will be standardised in place of the flexible connection (i.e. the Bentley and 25/30 schemes will then be the same) materially reduces cost.
