Press write-up for Motor Sport magazine and the strategic separation of the Rolls-Bentley brand.

To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 10/ET.4.1.41.

The Editor of "Motor Sport" threatens to publish my note on the B.V. intact. I attach a copy of the write-up.

You will note that I have mixed up Rolls-Royce Bentley fairly thoroughly. This was done on purpose, but if you object to it for any reason we should tell Mr. Boddy before he gets it into print.

I have been feeling for some time that, in view of W.O. Bentley's activities, we should divorce the Rolls-Bentley from its predecessor as far as possible.
