| Y 104. To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [Strikethrough] Cr. {Mr Cra’ster / Mr Chichester} [Strikethrough] re Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) Bodies. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 33/E13.10.32 Thanks for Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/MJ.7.10.32. This question is one to which we have already given considerable thought in London. As a matter of fact we already have quotations for bodies in batches [Strikethrough] quantities from Park Ward and we had in mind that we would give them the first bulk order. I am interested to note that you think that by collaborating with [Strikethrough] them you might be able to improve still further the position of body rattles, and I will discuss the question here again and then raise it when [Strikethrough] I am next at Derby. I might say that we also have had under consideration the question of confining [Strikethrough] Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) to complete cars, i.e. not offering chassis except [Strikethrough] possibly in countries overseas where there is a heavy duty on coach-work.
