| X3861 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}S/KW. 8th March, 1934. Messrs. Bluemel Bros. Ltd., Wolston, Nr. Coventry. Dear Sirs, We thank you for making up the two Bentley Steering Wheels with wider spacing of the finger grips. These however still meet with the objection that the indentations are too narrow. We should like to try a wheel with the grip inside and not underneath, a thinner wheel, and indentations approximately as shown. Could you make one such wheel for trial ? Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
