Attached is copy of a communication to hand this morning from Messrs. S. Smith & Sons, from which you will note, even now, there is some controversy as to what is required. The Shops are making a very special effort to effect early completion of an initial 15 Bentley Chassis, and at the moment we have one set, and one set only, of instruments available. These instruments have been taken by the Experimental Shop. ROY{Sir Henry Royce} ENCLOSURE. Copy of letter from S. Smith & Sons Ltd dated 27.6.33 | ||
