| +rb{R. Bowen} 3 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E.Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} re Bentley Experimental Car. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}19/E1.4.35 I am in receipt of Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.30.3.35 and quite agree to the proposal of removing the streamlined body from the Experimental body car and having a standard saloon instead. I am asking Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} to let you know how soon they will be ready to mount and fit the standard body. I think that we have got all the use we can out of the streamlined body and the best thing to do will be to scrap it. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
