| X4173 W/Paris. To Sr. From Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/KT.31.10.33. Re. Bentley. Referring to your Sr/Crml5/MLG.24.10.33., I am very sorry but we are absolutely without photographs of the Bentley chassis, and shall not have another chassis here for about a month when the first of the production series will be assembled. With regard to drawings, we have nothing very convincing, but we attach one which may be of some use. Presumably you saw the lined drawing in the "Autocar" a copy of which we attach. We understand you will have a trials car over there in a day or so, so you will be able to take any photographs you may require of the Bentley complete with body. We can take photographs of the engine etc., but think you may as well do them yourselves and get exactly what you want. Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
