| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x 219 ? To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E.Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Bentley. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}8/E24.9.34 Thanks for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/MJ.22.9.34 which gives me the information required. I had not previously in mind that, when I drove the stream-lined Bentley, it had this particular higher compression head. I do not feel, therefore, that it is necessary to go to the expense of fitting it up on Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}'s car but I note that it will be on the one which Lp.{Mr Lappin} will be using. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
