| X 212- RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 11/KT. 8.2.33. BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) FLYWHEEL. We send you herewith a modification to the std 20/25 flywheel G.54938. to reduce the inertia. The present inertia we find too much for Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley), spoiling the acceleration on the indirect gears. If you will let us know when this flywheel is ready we will try it on either 19.G.IV. or 18.G.IV. in conjunction with the damped spring drive. Shorter studs are required to hold the cover plate.
