| +7962 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/25/KW. 25th October, 1934. E.R. Hall Esq., 53, Berkeley Court, LONDON, N.W.1. Dear Hall, Railton has been doing some work on Campbell's car, streamlining it. I think he has got some useful information. I am going down there on Monday next and hope to arrive about 11 a.m. to discuss his results with him and see if they are in any way applicable to the Bentley. As we are going to ask you to do a good deal of work on your car with regard to the body on your own, perhaps you would like to listen to what is said. Your presence is valuable in that you know what is practicable for road racing and what is not. If you would like to be there, perhaps you would ring me before 5.30 p.m. to-morrow, Friday the 26th inst., and we can arrange to meet. Yours sincerely, | ||
