| -2- re temperature of the outside of the bottom half and will keep it in mind. We are still running with the reduced oil pressure. I take it that you would like the temp. with the high and low pressures. We will make sure about the temperature of the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley). Re your memo HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/KT 22.2.33 I arranged with Dodd to stay with BN. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Dodd left here on the 22.2.33 so I cannot hand over your memo. We expect him back this weekend. We shall when the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) returns run that car in preference to the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) until more help is obtained. It is too risky for the drivers to come off a slow car on to a fast car and I do not care to take any further chances. GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
