| To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} Copy to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Re Experimental All-steel Bentley, Wide Entrance Body, From the attached you will see that Messrs. Park Ward & Co. have slipped up rather badly on the rear squab and luggage boot of this car, and we propose letting them have it back to put right after we have found out where they have departed from our requirements. We suggest that in paying for this body we should make it clear that they will have to do the modifications free of charge, and if necessary withhold part of the payment, if this could be done and you think it is policy.
