Dear Sirs, re Ace Wheel Discs for Bentley 16" x 4 1/2" Pressed Steel Wheels We are in receipt of your letter of the 9th instant for which we thank you. In reply to your request, we are enclosing a print of the complete layout as originally designed and sample sets supplied. The print herewith is the general arrangement and shows no dimensions. Unfortunately, our record department has been interfered with by a recent fire and we have been unable to trace the detail drawings of this particular job; we trust, therefore, that this will meet with your requirements for the moment.
