| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X516 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Smth. 5/JH. 27. 2. 36. 25 H.P. & Bentley - rear oil seal. The present crankcase rear oil seal appears to be far from satisfactory on the 25 H.P. and Bentley, and we should like to try a scheme similar to the Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) one. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 74 shows a convenient way of doing this experimentally. Will you please detail and make the necessary pieces. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Smth. | ||
