| W/K - Pk. + W1 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}14/KW. 8.8.35. Bentley Car No. B-16-DK. Will you please let us know whether the above car belonging to G.R.N. Minchin Esq. has filters fitted to the float chamber lids and in the event of there being none, will you please have two fitted. At the same time, we think it advisable that two new needles and seatings are fitted to the lids, as we believe Mr. Minchin's recent petrol failure was due to carburetter flooding caused by faulty seatings.
