| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Copy to C. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} [crossed out] Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} [crossed out] Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} [crossed out] BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [crossed out] [Handwritten annotations]: 2.o o b B II 1023 Bentley Over-riders for Front Stabilising Bumper. With reference to our E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}8/MN.7.4.37 in which we informed you of the Sales approval of the Wilmot Breeden over-rider No.B.3011, we would be glad if you would issue the necessary standardisation sheet for the adoption of this change as soon as possible, as the Order Office are anxious to arrange for a fresh supply of bumpers for 'L' series equipped with this new feature. We understand that the additional cost per car will be 3/6 nett. We have received from you a memo in which you state that you are agreeable to the change, but we think a standardisation sheet should be circulated in order that the additional cost may be approved in the orthodox way.
