| X1056 To D/BP. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}26/KW.23.9.36. Further to our memo. asking you to send some bearings to the Chevrolet Co. in America, we are sending these free of charge in return for samples they have sent us. The approximate value of the 4 bearings is £1, and we presume Chevrolet will pay the necessary customs duty. If they are marked samples, will they not go without any duty ?
