| X 3861 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? Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [Stamp] RECEIVED A.P. JAN 11 1934 [Handwritten notes] 26/25 Ben 1.00 pitch .8 pitch | ||
