Mr. Wilmot Breedon's Car.

For various reasons we are particularly anxious to satisfy Mr. Breedon who has been suffering from brake squeaks every since he had his car.

With this object in view we have asked him to send the car into the Works to-morrow, the 7th, in order to fit Thermoid linings.

The only set of Thermoid linings we have for a Bentley are fitted to an experimental car, and it will, therefore be necessary to change over the shoes from this car to Mr. Breedon's.

In order to be sure we do not slip up this time, we should like the work to be done in the Experimental Dept. We have promised to return Mr. Breedon's car by to-morrow night.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
