Confirming our conversation with Captain West, whilst we cannot definitely undertake to devise a method of suppressing our Regulators fitted to Bentley cars we shall be very pleased to do what we can to assist. If Captain West can arrange to bring a car over to these works we will see that the necessary facilities are available for tackling the problem. We think it is quite likely we shall be successful. As was suggested we have been in touch with Mr. Knight of Philco, asking him for the benefit of any information he has to offer on the subject; he has promised to arrange for their Mr. Newton to be present at these works when Captain West brings the car over. We feel sure that Mr. Newton's assistance will be very valuable and should be most grateful if Captain West would let the undersigned have a few days notice so that the necessary arrangements can be made. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} a.{Mr Adams} Drew. | ||
