| 1/113 W/S. Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.27.3.39. Many thanks for your note. I think your suggestion of getting a reliable man from K.{Mr Kilner} to measure these American cars is a very good one, particularly as K.{Mr Kilner} have shown themselves very expert in doing this job. I do not know whether K.{Mr Kilner} will require any further authority from me, but if so, shall be glad if you will let me know. I will let you know when I think we have sufficient figures. The work should be booked to Order No. 52401. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
