To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Bentley Steering Wheel. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 15/E9.1.34

On the one or two occasions on which I have driven this car, it seems to me that I should prefer the steering wheel to have the larger spaces for finger grip on the under-side. Would you kindly let me know if we have tried this?
