Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}8/R.9.4.37. With regard to your complaint that the 'DG' Series of Bentleys were bad for wheel driver knocks, I have been trying for sometime to get from the Derby Repair Dept. a hub from this Series to send to Dunlops. Bull sent me one this morning which is in absolutely perfect condition. Will you, therefore, please steal one off the next bad car you see of this Series and send it to me, so that I can take the matter up with Dunlops.
