| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}2/R.11.12.34. Juddering Brakes - Bentley B-122-CR.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} - Mrs. Geoffrey Duveen. B-191-AE. - Mr. Geoffrey Duveen. We can have both these cars on Friday morning of this week, and keep them both all day. Please let me know what time our man will arrive so that we can advise Mr. Duveen. The address of the garage is:- 4a, Belgrave Mews North, London, W. It would appear that Mr. Duveen is not complaining a great deal because he accepted the explanation we gave him some time ago that we were engaged in finding a new material which did not suffer from this judder but which would still be efficient and have a good life. Whilst on this subject, what do you recommend please with regard to B-136.AH. Mr. W.L.P. Miesegaes, as per C20/C7.12.34 ? Would you like me to try and arrange for you to have this car also on Friday, if possible ? Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
