| To Sft{Mr Swift}/Mr.Wragg. X219 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}14/KW.5.10.36. Could you please arrange for Mr. Goodall to lend us two 25/30 or 4¼ litre Bentley cylinder blocks by Tuesday night. We should like to keep these for possibly two days. The cylinder bores should have as good a surface as possible and selected by Mr. Goodall. It does not matter for our requirements whether the cylinders are for 25/30 or 4¼ litre Bentley, the only requirement being that they should have a good finish in the bores.
