| Contd. -2- Hsl/T12.6.22. "I have used Bendix drive starters for over two "years and the firm here has done the same. Allow us, "therefore, to earnestly implore you to renounce that "devil and all his works". We intend at the first opportunity to bring a 40/50 chassis down to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town fitted with the C.A.V. Bendix system. We have a car in the Repair Shop running about with this fitted and certainly the teeth on the flywheel are in much better condition than those on the Goshawk. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
