| To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1280 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/AP.10.12.37. The Order Office point out the rubber connections we are about to order for M.Series Bentleys are 25% more expensive that those which we used to have from Dunlops or the Avon Rubber Co. We should not sacrifice efficiency for price reduction which would be obtained since the larger of these connections cost 6d. and the smaller 2d. We should be glad to have your views on the subject.
