Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}4/R.11.1.37. Thanks for Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}7/JAB.9.1.37., I am trying to find out what is the average profit which remains on a Bentley sold in France at the expiration of the guarantee period, taking into consideration all free of charge work, etc. Obviously we are all in business to make money, and there is no reason why we should not expect to make a profit out of foreigners, as well as Britishers. Attached is copy of a note I have written to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} I am inclined to agree with you that if Paris will avoid getting into a flat spin, we can find some way of dealing with the situation which will not be very expensive.
