| VA.4/ET.14.4.39 - 4 - Will LA. {L. A. Archer} please note that chassis WMB.29 (Mr. Simon PATINO) is a Paris order. This chassis, however, is at Messrs? Hooper's Works London, where the new body is being made. We take it that all arrangements will be made to have a new roller fitted before the car leaves England. MATERIAL REQUIRED. 23 100% reliable rollers 23 FW.I486 bolts 23 FW.I487 nuts 25 F.75305 Velumoid washers (paper) 25 F.58678 Locking tabs. As we have mentioned above, we shall require 60 FW.915/6 packing washers for Bentley cars. We think these will suffice for our requirements for the cars which need attention. As soon as the 100% reliable rollers are available, we suggest that they be sent to us in batches of 4 or 5, according to supplies available at the Works. We shall be glad if you will arrange to let us know as early as possible when we may expect a supply, because we do not want to go to the expense of fitting 50% overload tested rollers if the 100% ones are shortly to be available.
