Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} f 600 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}1/MH{M. Huckerby} 1.3.38. WRAITH SERVO STAR SPRING GUIDE. Will you please make two guides to the model here-with, one is wanted urgently to go to France. Will you please despatch same by Air Mail to I.M.Waller, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France, as soon as ready, together with 4 Bentley star springs. The other one we would like to experiment with on one of our cars. These guides make unnecessary the keys on the star springs which are apt to stick when the keyways wear.
