Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 7/MA.22.8.33. BENTLEY ENGINE MOUNTING. We have run into trouble on the bush which supports the front of the Bentley engine. After a certain mileage this produces a knock which can be cured by the application of paraffin and oil. We are trying various materials but in the meantime should like suggestions from By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
