| +7961 To Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW.3.12.34. B-169-CW. Mr. Summers. C. agreed on the 'phone the other day that we should fit a bumper bar to this car. Attached is a copy of a note I circulated on the subject. I want to avoid doing this car in the Experimental Dept. as we are jammed up with work at the moment. Could you therefore have instructions sent through in the ordinary way to the Works, asking them to fit a bumper bar on test. We will of course supply the bumper bar.
