| -3- At some time later on, the designs having been finished, we shall make Messrs.Park Ward & Co. a full scale model of the front, and also a model one tenth scale in order to make compression wind tunnel tests in comparison with the Embiricos car, the model of which we will return to you very soon. All the designs, the numbers of which are to be found in the attached summary at the end of this letter, will be sent to you under separate cover. It is not necessary we are quite sure, to point out to you that all of these designs as well as all matters concerning Bentley 5 and Bentley 50 are absolutely secret between you and ourselves. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
