| x To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/HJ.8.2.34. Replying to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}8/R.7.2.34. We are using Mr. Derschow as a driver for the Bentley car which is now running 10,000 miles in England. We expect this test to be completed in about a fortnight's time. We assume that there will be more than one man at the Bentley Service Depot looking after these cars and it may be a good thing if another man was sent to replace Mr. Derschow for someone else to get the experience.
