| 1379 S/W....Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Bentley Publicity C6/C25.10.40. We are arranging for publicity in connection with the B-V, and next week the first article will appear in the "Autocar" of the general impressions of Linfield. Geoffrey Smith wants to follow this up with a further article of a more technical character and to show a few sketches or photographs. Perhaps you will please let me know how far you think we ought to go in supplying these now so that they are of value to ourselves but without disclosing information. I could, of course, arrange for any sketches or photographs to be made of a chassis in London, if you will let me know what parts you think it would be safe to use for the purpose. C. | ||
