Mellotone Horns - Bentley Having learned that Works are committed up to the end of "WL" series with existing type horns, and in view of the possible introduction of Bentley III during next year, there seems no need to take any further action with regard to their introduction on the present Bentley. If, therefore, it is part of the Bentley III scheme to provide it with these horns when that model is introduced, that would appear in the circumstances to cover the issue. Should any other points arise in connection with this matter, they could I think usefully be referred to at the Chassis Conference next Tuesday. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
