| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MJ.30.1.34. We attach herewith suggestions from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} on independent wheel springing, which we think might interest you. You will be interested to hear that Dick Summers took delivery last Wednesday of the first 3 1/4 litre Bentley to be delivered to a customer. I dropped him a line chiefly to warn him as regards the brakes. You will notice from his reply that he has picked out most of our weaknesses.
