S/W...BY c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} -> Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} R.DODD. 267 1021 C10/CS.2.39 DROPHEAD COUPE FOR BENTLEY. BY14/G7.2.39 ? We note that the fitting of a stabilising bumper has made WXA-79 a reasonable car. Will you please let us know if you propose supplying us with a quantity of these so that they may be fitted to any Wraiths with this type of body. We note you are experimenting with Sir Herbert Smith's Phantom III and we should like to have your recommendations in regard to this as soon as possible, as Sir Herbert Smith is waiting to hear from us.
