RE. Bentley Cars.

When I was at W.W. on Friday, we spoke to R. {Sir Henry Royce} about borrowing a 4½ Litre Supercharged Bentley in order to examine the supercharger. This is in addition to the 8 Litre, which we want for two weeks.

I shall be in London on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. On Wednesday I propose meeting Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} at Messrs. Park Wards to look over 20-G4. If it could be arranged, I could drive one of the Bentley cars back to Derby on Thursday.
