New Dynamo sent. faulty dynamo returned to Works for examination. comm bleached on one side. 5th March, 1938. H.Pike, Esq., Bentley Motors (1931) Ld., Kingsbury Road, Hendon, N.W.9. Impression for information of W.A.Robotham, Esq., Dear Mr.Pike, As you know, it is just about a month ago that I left the bentley with you for two days on account of dynamo trouble. Since then the car has been with Thrupp's for fifteen days for repainting so that you will appreciate she has been in actual use almost a fortnight. The same symptom has developed again - i.e. for the first two or three miles running the dash ignition light glows. I think you will agree that this is a little disappointing. Sincerely yours, Charles W. Ainsworth | ||
