Handwritten: WST Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of 30th November regarding a discussion on ventilated dynamos for your Bentley Chassis, unfortunately, we are not at the present time manufacturing dynamos suitable for private car chassis but our friends Messrs. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Lucas of Birmingham have had, we believe, considerable experience with ventilated dynamos for this purpose and we are sure they would be pleased to give you all the assistance they can on your problems. We are at the moment specialising in dynamos for Commercial Vehicle purposes. Yours faithfully, for C.A.V. - BOSCH Limited. [Illegible signature] Electrical Sales Department. | ||
