| X236 RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 9/MA.12.4.33. BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) PISTONS. We send you herewith a sketch of a modified bedding which we think may prevent failure of the piston skirts. We understand from Mr. Wakefield's Office that this can easily be done provided we allow a small + limit on the 3.2355 dimension slightly altering the taper of the skirt. Will you please make us a set for test purposes. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
