| -2- I shall get at least a comparison between the La{L. A. Archer} Salle and the new small Buick before I leave Detroit. I feel that the exceptional cold must have had something to do with the valve spring failures, and hope that you will be able to reproduce the trouble. The inadequate ground clearance of the Bentley has been very annoying in the recent heavy snow. Have seen little of WHC, as he has been busy with bearings, but I expect to meet him again in Detroit. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Expect to leave Detroit finally about March 18th to catch "Berengaria" on the 21st. | ||
