| 442. To H1/I.W. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} 4/JH.18.8.38. BENTLEY III FRONT SHOCK DAMPER. The Bentley III front damper has a 5 point fixing and we have cracked two of the bosses probably due to the unequal tightening down. There appears to be discolorations on the fracture and we should like to know if the casting is sound. We have sent the damper casing into the Laboratory.
