| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X242 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.10/KW.25.6.34. 1-B-IV Saloon. Will you please fit up a set of controllable dampers on the above car similar to those on 4-B-IV, so that we can demonstrate to London the effect of controllable dampers on a Saloon Bentley. As nearly all the parts are similar to Ph.II production, we suggest that you should book out a set of parts in order to urge the demonstration. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
