| x4553a To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Bentley - 4-B-IV, now on 10,000 miles Test. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/El.2.34 Pleased to note that Hancock is putting up such good mileages per day. I hardly thought that this would be possible in England. I note he says on the report received to-day: No trouble starting from cold. It would be interesting if you could get him to put on the report whether the car was left in a heated or unheated garage and, if the latter, the approximate air temperature at the time.
