Bentley / Mr Barrington} Copy to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Bn {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} 8/W19919. RE "DUCO" SPRING GAITER. With reference to the attached letter and circular from Messrs. Brown Bros. Ltd., regarding the "Duco" Spring Gaiter, Mr. Royce is not at all in favour of these fittings. Is it not a fact that although they may do some good they quickly become very unsightly, and are difficult to clean? In view of Mr. Royce's opinion I do not think it is desirable to put the matter before him. Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Att:- Letter of Sept. 5th. from Brown Bros. Circular re "Duco" Spring Gaiter. 20 SEP 1919 RECEIVED | ||
