| S/W.....Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}- c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ------- X7964 C11/C31133 I enclose herewith copy of letter I have received from Mr. Rayment of The Car Mart Ltd. I am arranging for this car in particular to be specially tested by Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} In the meantime I should be glad to receive any views you may have upon this - as to how it could happen. I think there is no doubt that Mr.Rayment clamped his brakes on for an emergency stop. Do you think there is anything in Mr.Rayment's theory about the front brakes operating first? C. | ||
