| S/W. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Bly{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}9/R6.11.36. Re:- G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} A.{Mr Adams} Vandervell, Esq., Would you kindly let me know if you have yet heard from the above concerning the special bearings I understood he was going to supply for a 4¼-litre engine. The last time I spoke to Mr. Vandervell he said he was sending these bearing on to you, and if you would agree to fit them he would place an order for a 4¼-litre chassis. To-day I am fixing up his brother Mr. Geoffrey Vandervell with a 4¼-litre Bentley, so this makes the third in the family, as his Father Mr. C. A.{Mr Adams} Vandervell already owns two 4¼-litres.
