Sidgreaves - MD}, before you fit these instruments to the Bentley, unless they are very urgently required thus fitted, could we see them in London ? If you could send them along to us we could return them of course without delay. If they are already fitted to a car which is in use, is it likely that the car will be in London at any time in the near future so that we could have a look at it with the instruments in position ? In fact, I think on the whole that would be the better way to see them. Perhaps you would let me hear from you as to just how this matter stands, and in what way we may expect to be able to see them.
