BENTLEY - 300 CHASSIS.

The question of producing 300 sets of material has been satisfactorily cleared up between Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and myself.

The Order Office are to be instructed to go ahead and buy 300 sets of all parts released for 50 chassis.

It will be seen that as production chassis are to become available for delivery early in November the purchasing of the material must be put in hand without delay.
