These pieces are produced in accordance with memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}11/MH.{M. Huckerby}9.12.37. and Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}11.1.38. for the purpose of showing the appearance of the Bentley 50 Pressed steel wheels. They are to be tried along with the scheme using Bentley 50 Brakes (Un-assisted) on B.11A.(see memo BY/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design}8/G.14.1.38) but are not to be made under the same order number as the latter. In order to prevent confusion, we are sending an LOP. Ex.S.367 showing how this section will be built up. Kindly instruct one set. Ald{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} BY/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} | ||
