To HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation}

r 207.

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 1/AP.29.12.36.

O.H.C. BENTLEY.

We are at present running the cam balancer recently adapted from a standard Bentley, on the above engine.

The results shew straight away, that it will be worth while running this on the road.

Will you therefore please produce a suitable sheet-metal casing to cover the balancer so that the mechanism may be suitably lubricated.
