Re Experimental Bentley Saloon 5-B-IV.

In reply to your memo. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}9/IH.3.10.34.

(1) We are sending the cast aluminium shields for the lamp standards. These will require filing and fitting to the mudguards.

(2) The question of the front apron. This has been left over to be fitted at Derby later, not knowing the shape of the mudguards.

(3) The sheet metal floorboards will be sent away and finished off at Derby.

(4) The horns, foot switch and head lamps we have at Derby, these will be fitted here.

(5) It has been decided not to fit a wireless set in this car.


Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Dodd.
