| ST Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By- Exr- WST 86139 ROY {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /WS12/P.15.10.35. We would draw your attention to the fact that the Bosch Foot Switch DB. {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 762 which we are at present purchasing for Bentley Chassis is manufactured at Messrs. Robert Bosch's Works at Stuttgart, and no arrangements have yet been made for the manufacture in this country. As you are aware, for some time we have been carrying out tests with an R-R. {Sir Henry Royce} Foot Switch. Possibly these are now sufficiently advanced to warrant our fitting same on Bentley Chassis 'G' Series. Please advise. Roy. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} | ||
