Swindell} DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/G.3.12.38. SWDL {Len H. Swindell} BENTLEY 60. DYNAMO FIXING STAY. Please receive herewith :- E.CD.1079 Modified Dynamo Fixing Stay - Bentley 60. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Swdl. {Len H. Swindell} reports that the present anchorage for dynamo stay is too flexible. In order to stiffen up the fixing of the stay to the water pump on existing engines, we have extended the anchorage across to another of the water pump studs. An improved design for use on future engine has already been issued on E.CD.1077. Will you please detail and instruct for this scheme to be fitted to the existing Bentley 60 engines.
