| EXTRACT FROM: X5770 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} } R.2/M.10.11.31. X5250 X5770 X4827 C. to SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} CAR DESIGN WORK RADIATOR & ENGINE FRONT END SUPPORT - J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. A PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine). We have had this with many modifications and have schemed an entirely rubber support so that the engine can vibrate around centre, and in a vertical or horizontal direction at the front end with very little tendency to shake the chassis. We feel sure this will be superior to anything we have ever done. The pieces are easy to make, and assemble with the minimum of fitting. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
