Bentley / Mr Barrington}14/W16. 3. 20. X.3506 Re Heater for Lord Herbert Scott's Car. Mr. Spinney, on behalf of LHS{Lord Herbert Scott}, still writes asking how we are progressing with the matter of Heaters. I have already explained that the Heater/s supplied were rather un-satisfactory as regards some of the fittings and that this was delaying the job. Perhaps you will write to LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} stating the present position and send me a copy. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} * Designers ex Derby, thought up the scuttle top large ventilator to reduce the (rummy) hot-feet syndrome. Nor exactly a ball of fire.
