Sent off 20. 6. 32. x 407 V4 5 32. PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) & BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) CYLINDER HEAD. As before remarked we are quite pleased to sanction a trial being made of a head having six exhaust ports as well as six inlets. It may prove a decidedly better head. We understand the one already made is now giving better results since the waterways have been improved. This is a feature of car engine design in which E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} has had considerable experience, and on which we should concentrate as his speciality. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
