W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}26/HEM.1.11.33. we have discussed this matter with Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} and the Experimental Department. We understand that you have requested for some trial runs to be made locally on our experimental cars, and as we do not recommend experimental cars being used for this purpose we are arranging for the above car to be finished by Tuesday evening, so that the car can be used for these local trial runs from Wednesday. Will you, therefore, please arrange for your driver to arrive here on Tuesday evening and also arrange the various trial runs for Wednesday and inform your driver accordingly. He can then return with the car to London on Wednesday evening, the 15th inst., as requested. It is our intention to attend to the piston job and clutch, and also do what further inspection and tuning up we can in the time at our disposal. [handwritten] attention EP.{G.
