| 1245 W/P. Sr. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/R.8.4.38. Independent Suspension on Existing Bentley. Many thanks for your Sr/Dnl{Mr Dunwel}4/MLG.6.4.38. Our present trouble is that we have too many independent front wheel suspension schemes to choose from, and we should hate to add to our confusion by considering a new type at the moment. Whilst, therefore, we admire Mr. Poberejsky's initiative, we hope you will manage to prevent him from thinking we are likely to adopt the patented features thereof.
