| X246 Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/KT.3.5.33. ROAD SPRINGS. We should like to know the difference in price between Woodhead and Firth's road springs for the Bentley car. The price in both cases must include grooving, and plating, in fact the prices should be comparable in every way. We do not know whether Firths' would make an additional reduction if they received the order for the Bentley springs, but if this is so, we should like this to be included in the final price.
