| To Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 15/KW.6.1.41. re Bentley V Publicity. Thanks for Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 10/ET.4.1.41, but I think the notes you have sent me are incomplete, as although the second page is numbered (2), it jumps from an uncompleted sentence on page 1, to Section 5 on page 2. Personally I do not think there is any harm in mixing up Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and it may become necessary to call our Bentley the "Rolls-Bentley", for the reasons you mention. As a matter of fact, the other day in view of the fact that the Bentleys we sent to America are not selling, I suggested that Inskip should try calling them the Rolls-Bentley. qSg. | ||
