Bentley / Mr Barrington} Mx. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Hd. {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} S/W {Sales / Derby Works} To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Piston Seizures on the Bentley. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 6/E10.4.35 Referring to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/KW.4.4.35 I note the suggestion made regarding extra piston lubrication and, before replying, waited a few days to see if anybody raised any objection. As such is not the case I presume that all concerned agree and I should, therefore, be glad if BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} will give me information as soon as possible as to how soon the modification will be introduced on production. Is it also going to be introduced on 20/25's? Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
