| +7961 b To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KW.18.2.35. Mr. Fedden's Bentley. Attached is a reply we have had from Fedden this morning. We are asking Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} and Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} to deal with this car as soon as it becomes available. With regard to his remark re our guarantee that the removal of the cycle type wings will cure his complaints of squeaking brakes and wheel wobble, the quarterly complaint lists indicate that the chances of his having either of these troubles with the normal wings are rather remote, but you will doubtless communicate with him on this point.
