Bleaney - Bentley Sales}26/HEM.2.11.33. re: Bernard Hopps, Esq. I thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}18/KT.1.11.33 answering the points raised in Mr. Hopps' letter, which are very useful. Concerning your reference 'D', in replying to Mr. Hopps we pointed out that we thought the car he tried must have had smooth tyres and that so far we have not had any criticisms in connection with skidding. This will probably have reminded him of the fact that this point was brought to his attention at the time. Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
