| Eff. from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and BV. RECEIVED Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}5/T1.8.33. Re 3½ Litre Bentley Output. Sometime about the middle of September we are announcing the Bentley Car for sale. This note is to ask if you can give me some idea as to when you can start delivering chassis from Works to Test. May I make a suggestion, that we should like to start putting them on test at the rate of 6 per week beginning of October, and deliver to London the first week in November, increasing if possible to 10 per week as early as you can. I shall be glad if you will consider this and let me have as reply as early as possible. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
