CAST-IN STARTER PASSAGE - B.V. and CORNICHE(Bentley streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d precursor to R Type Continental, never produced). Referring to Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 9/MH. {M. Huckerby} 22.8.39. presumably the .375" dia. hole in the diaphragm on B.V. and .437 diameter on Corniche(Bentley streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d precursor to R Type Continental, never produced), will be added to the detail. We may point out that Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/G.17.6.39. instructing the manifold in question called for this alteration on experimental pieces only.
