Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} S/KW.18.2.35. Mr. Fedden's Bentley Car. Attached is a letter from Mr. Fedden, from which you will see that he agrees to have the cycle type wings removed from his body. We should be glad if you would communicate with him on the subject of the coachwork and the wings, and pass the information on to Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}, so that he can communicate with Fedden as to the approximate period over which his car will be required. I think his headlamp trouble will largely disappear when the bumper bar is fitted, but we should at least ensure that the lamps are up to the best standard we know of.
