File Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 7/HM.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}18.12.33. Bentley Performance. Referring to GgS/RI4.12.33, the typing error in the memo. was not in the 7,000 miles figure, but in putting 1,000 instead of 10,000 miles. We appreciate that 10,000 miles under English conditions on an engine modification such as this is only an indication that the alterations show promise of being reliable.
