| LES X242. To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E./JNR. {Charles L. Jenner} E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner} 1/HP.24.2.33. c. WOT. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) Series 1. We have made a new drawing which we send you herewith - LeC.3387 showing the rear axle dampers and contiguous parts. This cancels our previous LeC.3331. The reason for doing this is to be able to use the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) shock damper levers and the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) connecting link between the axle and the damper. This has forced us to rearrange the position of the battery crossmember, this having been raised .250". We know that this is very close to the back edge of the rear cushion and we propose to slope this and have written to Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} to ascertain if there are any objections from a coachbuilding point of view.
