PETERS & SONS (INCORPORATED) JGO/IB. 8th July 1935 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Rowbotham With reference to Mr. E.R. Hall's Bentley Car, you may know that he has asked us to make up a special pair of streamlined rear wings from a photo he has given us of an Alfa-Romeo Le Mans Car, and as you have his car up there, and as we only have an old pair of flat type wings to go by, may we ask you to give us the information as per the enclosed sketch. We have marked clearly on the sketch three points that we wish to know about. Then we could make up the wings and send up to you complete to be fitted on, as we understand the car is not coming back to London for some considerable time yet. Assuring you of our sincere interest and hearty collaboration in the work of this car. Yours faithfully, For OFFORD & SONS LIMITED. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Allen Offord | ||
