RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/R.4.12.36.

Bentley Cylinder Bore wear.

Attached is a note we have received from Hancock relative to a cylinder block off a customer's car which he states has been badly machined.

I expect you would like to see the block when it arrives, and, therefore, am arranging for it to be sent along to you.
