| W/K - Mr. Clarke. +261 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.5/KW.17.5.35. I am intending to get to Kingsbury to try Bowater's Bentley when it is fitted with the new dampers. I am hoping that this visit will give us an opportunity to exchange experience of Bentley springing and shock absorbers. It will be very interesting to hear your side of this matter. Will you please therefore let either our Repair Dept. know (or me direct) when the car is ready for trying. I imagine Monday is a likely day, in which case will you try to let me know before 12 o'clock on Saturday. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
