4¼ LITRE BENTLEY CHASSIS - B.242-GA. & B.115-GP.

RE: BREEDEN STABILIZER BUMPERS - Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} /SB. {Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} 9/HR.31.10.36.

There are two schemes under test :-
(a). Making the lead weight in antimonial lead.
(b). Using a ⅜" rubber packing compressed to ¼".

I should recommend fitting antimonial lead weights to both the above, this must increase the life of the weight considerably and may apparently be a complete solution.

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} , whose scheme it is, will supply the weights.
