| Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1379 Bs {A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} 3/KW2.1.41. Bentley Publicity. Thank you for your Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} IO/KW31.12.40. I am sorry if my previous memo did not make it clear that Mr. Boddy was actually having the London Trials B V. {VIENNA} over the past week-end, i.e. 28th/29th December. The run has now taken place, and the car has been returned to us. This being so, it will not now be possible to make use of Lp {Mr Lappin} 's Bentley for the purpose. I will arrange for Lp. {Mr Lappin} to take over the London B. V. {VIENNA} to enable him to bring it up to Derby sometime during the coming week, for the Experimental people to go over. I have to-day forwarded to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} direct a letter p.t.o. | ||
