| S/W Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} To note 400b? To Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Re Horns on the Bentley The testers keep saying that these are useless in France. We have already asked Sr. to order his chassis without horns and he is to fit his own. I should, however, be interested to know what type of horn Lagonda's fit. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Handwritten Note: Lucas Mellotone. Same as we use. Cx{Major Len W.
