| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}7/JH. 9th July, 1937. Mr. J.C. Morrison, The University, Glasgow. Dear Mr. Morrison, As we promised last Thursday I am sending herewith two prints of the Bentley chassis layout. I don't know whether you want a Phantom III layout or not but if you do, let me know. I hope you got on O.K. at Birmingham and had a good trip home. I expect it was quite a pleasant break for you. What do you think of B'ham traffic scheme? The general arrangement, I believe is that if you want a certain place you start outside and gradually corkscrew your way in. If by any chance you miss your port of call, you screw your way out and start all over again. A marvellous scheme ! Well, I hope you'll manage to get something out of the University in the way of facilities for running a Bentley and then I think we might manage to get something out of it. Anyhow, let us know what happens. If by any chance you want any more drawings or figures let me know and I'll see what I can do for you. I remain, Yours sincerely, | ||
