| 1379. W/S. To Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}28.8.39. 27.LE. Replying to your memo Bly{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}6/SM.24.8.39, as far as we can remember the speedometer on this car was correct with 6.50 x 17 rear tyres, but we have no data as to whether the mileage was correct. We will obtain a speedometer correct for the tyres now on the car and send it to you in due course. With regard to the 19" wheels, we have no spare wheels at the Works, and suggest Mr. Hay orders these direct from Dunlops, Coventry. There is no objection to running the engine on Motorine "C".
