Derby............Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Showrooms Sr/DnI8/MLG.5.10.37 Pierre Louis Dreyfus Thanks for your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/R.I.10.37. Brake Drums - I note your remarks under this heading and will explain the position to this customer. Clutch - It is very gratifying for me to know that things look so hopeful and I trust that when we fit the new plate this will cure the trouble. Aero -Dynamic Bentley- I was very interested to read your suggestions re the chassis and hope these will be accepted. You need have no fear about body accomodation as this particular body will be more spacious than those on our present demonstration cars. "Sr" b Try + let me have 2 clutch plates if you can SS{S.
