Hoob.

To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Bentley in France. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}14/E18139

I notice that on the recent daily reports of the 15,000 miles test no total mileage is recorded.

I also notice that the reports keep talking about the smell of exhaust. What is the cause of this, please?

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
