John Summers & Sons Ltd., Hawarden Bridge Steel Works, Shotton, Chester. Dear Dick, Mr. Gordon Armstrong has fitted up his Bentley with independent front wheel suspension. He has really made quite a good job of it, the car rides well and steers reasonably well. If you have time while you are in London I should like you to try this car. Mr. Gordon Armstrong is staying at the Piccadilly Hotel, and would be delighted to let you have a run in his car if you get into communication with him there. Alternatively, you can contact him at the Armstrong Shock Absorber Stand at Olympia. Yours sincerely, | ||
