| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Nor. c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} x4553a (3) Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}5/KW. 21.2.35. Referring to the minutes of 16.2.35. We should like to point out that we have never had the centrally mounted wings and radiator fitted to a Bentley, and therefore the date on which this car goes to France depends upon this feature requiring no development work.
