re Bentley Shutters.

Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E11.2.37

I thought the fixed shutters on the car on which I was driven to Nottingham looked quite well.

I should like to have it up in London one day after next week to show the others concerned.

I should be glad if you could let me know the approximate saving that would be made by having these.

There would also of course be the saving on the Service [crossed out] side from the point of view of trying to deal with complaints of rattling shutters.
