| W/S {Derby Works / Sales} C. From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4133 X4133 X4405 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/LC9.3.22. I heard from BR. {T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} in Derby yesterday that you have purchased a 10 HP. Fiat - 4-seater car. If you have this car, we would recommend that it was sent to WW. immediately direct from London. The designs of the "Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine)" are being pushed forward and for us to get full advantage of the D.F.P. and Fiat, they should be at WW. in order that the designers can compare the proportions.
