REQUESTS

A schoolboy enthusiast who is rebuilding a 1938 model-Y Ford 8 wants a workshop manual for it, or data on engine and body repairs. Anthony Blight wants, if possible, to contact Don Wilcoxon, foreman mechanic to Foxe Nicholl in the ‘thirties, Ben Higgins and Bob Winter, mechanics in Talbot’s test department from 1931 onwards in connection with his forthcoming book on Roesch Talbots, which promises to be one of the most enthralling of one-make histories. The Bentley D.C. is compiling a list of surviving employees and apprentices of the old Bentley Company, i.e. from 1919-1931, and would like to add to the existing list of the Duke of Richmond, Rivers-Fletcher, Clarke, Clement, Hassan, Hofman, Pennal, de Sollen and Tomlins. A firm in Birmingham is looking for a German car radio aerial known as a Poddig, current in 1959/60. The Railton O.C. asks for details of existing Railton cars, for its new Register. Letters can be forwarded.
