Re. Bentley Chassis No. B.65.AE.
R.{Sir Henry Royce} Summers Esq.

I understand from EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}'s Dept. that you propose sending someone to this customer's house tomorrow for the purpose of talking to him about his Bentley Car and that you have agreed to whoever goes, to change the fan to the modified type. Therefore I am sending you a new type fan herewith for this purpose - if you will let me have the old one back I will get it modified by the Works and used up on production.

Attended to Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}
