With reference to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}23/E.5.2.34. the schemes made for the Phantom II. and 20/25 HP. chassis are not suitable for the Bentley, as the shutters for the latter are not in a straight line, and we understand that E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} is going to supply us with a suitable scheme for the Bentley. It should not take long to produce the new parts and fit them on production chassis, and on receipt of the scheme from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} we will let you know definitely when same can be introduced on production.
