Dear Mr. Robotham,

With regard to the Bentley V description which is to appear in "The Automobile Engineer", so that there shall be no possibility of misstatement or contradiction in view of your letter of the 20th ultimo, I think it well to mention that Mr. Fraser of New-Hudson Ltd. says that the position with regard to Girling brakes on the Bentley car is as follows:

(a) Girling expander actuation employed
(b) Girling shoe is employed
(c) Girling adjustment is employed
(d) modified Girling operational linkage employed.

Mr. Fraser also states that Messrs Rolls-Royce and New-Hudson Ltd. are agreeable to the full facts being published.

A line in confirmation would be much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

[Signature]

DIRECTOR
