LATEST TYPE SPLIT ALUMINIUM PISTONS FOR AMERICAN TRIALS CAR 22-LW. With reference to By's instructions BY3/H30.3.20, and Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}'s memo. Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}2/W29.3.20, please let me know when this set of pistons can be handed to me ready for fitting. I would point out to you that the test of the car will be held up for these. On receipt of your promise for these pistons, we will put the matter up to Sales Dept., as it may be necessary to despatch the chassis and fit the new pistons later, as the American Co. are urging delivery of this chassis. I trust therefore you will realise the importance of our having a definite date for the supply of these pistons, as upon this will rest the whole settlement of the action we must take. EP.{G.
