| X209 To Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to EJJ. c. to R. {Sir Henry Royce} BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) ENGINE. It will be seen from R's. memo R.2/M4.10.32 that he does not consider we are getting on quickly enough with the tests on the supercharged engine. We could be doing more work if we had another test bench. At present work on the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) is monopolising our bed. We have arranged with EJJ. all particulars for fitting up a bed in the Single Cylinder Test house for this work. We hate to keep on complaining but we still do not consider that the test tackle work is done quickly enough. At different times we have done certain test tackle work ourselves and we have an idea what can be done. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
