| S/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 4¼-Litre Bentley. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}5/E17.6.36 One of our customers mentioned to me the other day that he thought we had made a retrograde step in fitting the Marles steering to the above car and he could not understand why we had not left well alone. It was news to me and I believe is incorrect. At any rate so far as I can trace, we never seem to have heard of it. Would you please let me know. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
