We have tested the sample screen wiper on a rig and the results certainly justify fitting it to a car. The silence of the drive between the wipers is a marked improvement. We are despatching the complete set to Messrs. Park Ward today for fitting to the Bentley improved entrance body. P.W. Will you please confirm this with Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Dodd. | ||
