| S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} "Motor Sport". Bs{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager}8/KW15.1.41. Many thanks for your RmIO/ML.11.1.41. I have been trying to get in touch with Mr. Boddy in regard to our request for a sight of the draft of the article on the B V.{VIENNA} he is proposing to insert in the February issue of "Motor Sport". So far I have not been successful. I am, however, noting that if he decides to mention the maximum speed, you would be quite satisfied if the car is credited with 95 m.p.h. or over, and in this case you would not wish to see the article. I will let you know later what I am able to do. Meantime, I am enclosing a copy of the November issue of "Motor Sport", on pages 211 and 213 of which will be found some reference to the Bentley. I presume you already have knowledge of the article dealing with the Bentley bearings. I will endeavour to keep you posted with copies of "Motor Sport", which contain any reference to the Bentley in future. Enc. Bs.{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} [Handwritten] This note should be put in the file together with pages 211 & 213 of Motor Sport | ||
