| WST 86153 S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. re-Wireless on R-R and Bentley Cars. Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}12/KW25.9.34. Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} reports that the roof aerial in his car is very inefficient owing to the sunshine roof, and that an aerial under the nearside running board with the metal covering removed is much more satisfactory. As probably you have been investigating the merits of different kinds of aerials would you please give me your views as to what you have found to be the best type. I think this is an important point on which we should like to have a definite decision. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} drub | ||
