| W/S - Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X260 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/KW.3.2.36. Big Bore Bentley. Replying to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}1/KW.31.1.36. We understand that the first production big bore unit is now on test. We think the quickest way for you to obtain a Trials car is to arrange to send one of your existing cars to Derby to have the unit changed. This work could of course be carried out by the production side. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
