| x204 To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}3/KW.11.1.35. Will you please obtain for us 1 red brake-stop lamp glass of the screw in type, for 5-B-IV. The old one has unscrewed itself and been lost. Also, on our streamlined Bentley, B-23-AE, one of the ventilator windows has been lost. These were made up for this particular car from 2 Essex 8 window ventilators. The Graham 8 is fitted with ventilators of a suitable type, and we could adapt one of these, the shape of the glass we should have to alter of course. Will you let the writer know whether it is possible to obtain this fitting, i.e., for the near side front door. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Dodd. | ||
