| DELCO-REMY & HYATT, LTD. - 2 - which test we did obtain one case of trouble identical with this particular case of yours. Other than this Rushton assures me that we definitely have experienced no trouble. As I mentioned to you on the 'phone, we regard the idea of obtaining your Bentley business so very seriously that we are quite prepared to re-design or to anything that is reasonable with a view to getting a stage nearer obtaining your business, but to be entirely frank with you I do not like the idea of modifying this particular design unless we can obtain further evidence that the design is definitely unsuitable, and by 'unsuitable' I mean only slightly so. I shall be very pleased to visit Derby at any time to investigate the matter further upon hearing from you that it might be useful to do so. I am, Yours sincerely, [Signature] Managing Director P.S. For your confidential information I am enclosing a service bulletin No. ID-185 and material specification No. 135. The breakers are being sent under separate cover. | ||
