Re paragraph numbered (3) Finish of Engine, the discussion at Brooklands centred round a polished base line of the valve cover and a polished marginal line round the name 'Bentley'. I have suggested to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} that in addition to these the surface of the letters forming the word 'Bentley' should also be polished, and to this he agrees. Would you therefore kindly arrange accordingly. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
