| Pk....from Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}8/HR.27.10.37. re LARGE CAPACITY OIL PUMPS FOR BENTLEY CARS. [Stamped: OCT 28] This is to notify you that, unfortunately, I misinformed you yesterday when I said we were charging the Owner for the high capacity oil pumps. As these have been fitted in cases of very small mileages the cost of the pump has been charged to A.T.D. My views are that in the case of a car coming in for re-conditioning we should most certainly expect the trader to pay, and include it in our superficial estimate, and whether we show it in the detailed estimate would be left to our discretion. Will you please be good enough to show this memo to GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} | ||
