| 2. W.A. Robotham Esq. 20.11.33. out any experiments on the Bentley Chassis itself which, of course, we are most anxious to do. If, by any chance, you could allow Mr. Worth and/or myself to go to Chateauroux to see the tests or, alternatively, if you could possibly allow me to try to make some arrangement with Park Ward & Co. Ltd., where-by they could allow us the use of a Bentley chassis for a reasonable period of time in order to make skidding tests on different tread designs under various British road conditions, we should be very grateful indeed. With many apologies for such a long letter but I feel sure you will appreciate that it is only prompted by the fact that we are most anxious to do everything in our power to be of service to you. Yours sincerely, Rothes | ||
