| W/P - Sr. X1245 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/KW.26.8.36. In response to your S.O.S. we have to-day despatched a set of bearings for your Bentley. Will you please let us have back intact the bearings which have given trouble. We should also like crankshaft measurements. By now you will have received the larger tyres for the Bentley, we should like to know what you think of these. Regarding the Tourist Trophy race, I shall have a ticket which I shall not use to get there as I shall already be in Ireland, and you can have this. We can probably get back as previously, by sleeping two or three in a cabin. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
