| X264u To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Large Bore Bentley - B-56-EN. Sgl/E22.10.35 I see from the report of the 17th that the front bumper bar fell off due to a pin shearing. I am rather concerned because I thought that since this trouble had occurred, we had strengthened up the fitting. I should like to hear from you before taking any further action. It is hardly necessary to stress the danger of this happening. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
